Government Orders

…I will be splitting my time today with the member for Hastings—Lennox and Addington. With regard to Bill C-234, I would like to recognize a couple of people, the first being the member for Brandon—Souris. Before he was elected, he worked in the private sector.

…r. Speaker, I will be supporting this motion because it is consistent with my third reading vote on Bill C-234.
