Routine Proceedings
Is that agreed?
Routine Proceedings
The hon. member for Repentigny on a point of order.
Routine Proceedings
I thank the hon. member for sharing that message from the interpreters. Often when there are problems it is hard to find solutions. The current solution is to try to stay quiet during members' speeches. I thank the hon. member for her intervention.
Government Orders
Pursuant to Standing Order 67.1, there will now be a 30-minute question period. I invite hon. members who wish to ask questions to rise in their places or use the “raise hand” function so the Chair has some idea of the number of members who wish to participate in the question period. The hon. member for Fundy Royal.

Government Orders
This is just a reminder to the folks who are participating in the debate that, the shorter the question, the shorter the answer, and the more people who will get to participate in this great debate. I want to thank everybody for their interventions. Continuing debate, the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader has the floor.
Government Orders
I want to make a little point about words that are parliamentary and unparliamentary. I think the member used something that is unparliamentary. The next time he stands up, I would love for him to take back his words and say something else. There are other words that are similar to what he said that are parliamentary.
Government Orders
Before we continue, I would like to say a few words. Members may at times become passionate during their interventions, but they have to follow the Standing Orders and usual practice of the House during their speeches and questions and comments. Standing Order 18 stipulates, “No member shall speak disrespectfully of the Sovereign, nor of any of the royal family, nor of the Governor General or the … Read full speechShow less
Before we continue, I would like to say a few words. Members may at times become passionate during their interventions, but they have to follow the Standing Orders and usual practice of the House during their speeches and questions and comments. Standing Order 18 stipulates, “No member shall speak disrespectfully of the Sovereign, nor of any of the royal family, nor of the Governor General or the person administering the Government of Canada.” House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, at page 621 states that “any reference to these persons which appears intended to influence the work of the House is also prohibited”. Although some latitude may be given by the Speaker, I ask everyone to show a bit of restraint in their comments in order to respect this important rule, and avoid using unparliamentary language such as the word “bullshit”. I would like the member to take back what he said at some point today. Continuing debate, the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and to the Minister of Sport.
Government Orders
I just want to remind folks that as people are starting to come in, the noise outside the chamber seems to be a lot noisier than normal. Every time the door from the lobby opened, we could hear it bleed into the microphone. Let us make sure we keep the volume down as people are coming into the chamber to participate in question period. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Sarnia—Lambton.
Government Orders
I thank the hon. member for her intervention. It is a reminder to always, of course, stick to the bill at hand. The hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands has the floor.

Private Members' Business
I always hate interrupting, but I think the correct microphone is not selected. Can the member make sure the right microphone is selected? Interpretation is having a hard time. She can also tap on the microphone. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Private Members' Business
I think that is probably what we will do. We will have the technicians get the member up and running, and if she does not mind, she can take the next slot. I will put the member down as the next speaker. The hon. member for Calgary Shepard.
Private Members' Business
Before we go to the next member, I want to ensure members check their microphones to ensure they are working. I need to back up on one thing, which is to ensure people do not tap their microphones if they are not working. I would them to unplug them and plug them back in to ensure they are working.
