Government Orders

I only interrupt when I hear disorder in the House. There was a statement there that the hon. member used. Members cannot do indirectly what they cannot do directly. The hon. parliamentary secretary should know better.

Government Orders

As a reminder, members can ask questions or make comments. The hon. member for Lac-Saint-Jean.

Government Orders

I appreciate the intervention. The Sergeant-at-Arms is going back there to see who is making all the noise. I just remind all of our members, when we are coming into our lobbies, to make sure we try to keep our volume down. The sound is coming from the back as people enter. Again, this is a reminder to members in our lobbies and all those who are here today. The hon. member for Nepean.

Government Orders

I declare the motion carried.

Government Orders

Madam Speaker, it is highly unusual for me to ask a question or even make a comment, but I just wanted to reflect a little on the hon. member's speech when he talked about family. All of us come with some of the very same kinds of challenges when we come here, where we leave family behind in order come back and would like to be able to spend more time with them. What the hon. member is doing is tr…

Government Orders

Order. I am still hearing a lot of chatter, and the hon. member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot is really trying to listen. I see the pain on his face.

The hon. member for Flamborough—Glanbrook.

Government Orders

I declare the motion carried.

Government Orders

Resuming debate. The hon. member for Salaberry—Suroît.

Government Orders

I did not mean to interrupt the hon. member. I was trying to give a little wink and a nod to the members. To the hon. members for Abbotsford and Provencher, the hon. member for Salaberry—Suroît is not far away, and men's voices tend to carry in the chamber. I just want to make sure they know that when members are speaking in French, it is just as important as when members are speaking in English. …

Government Orders

There is a point of order from the hon. member for Provencher.

We will do a quick count. And the count having been taken: We do have quorum. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Langley—Aldergrove.

Government Orders

I thank the hon. member for that. I want to remind colleagues that, when we have responses to points of order or whatever, it is always a courtesy to the members who are speaking to bring these things up between speeches. Therefore, I would ask that the next time we wait until after the speech, or maybe after questions and comments, to do those things. Resuming debate, the hon. member for Cumberla…
