Oral Questions
That is all the time we have question period today.
Oral Questions
Does the member have leave to table it?

All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion will please say nay. It is agreed. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed to the motion will please say nay. (Motion agreed to)
Routine Proceedings
Is that agreed?
Government Orders
Order. We will take a minute. I know there is a lot of go-between. It is interesting go-between, but I think maybe we could get to the point. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.
Government Orders
We are getting into debate. The hon. member for Jonquière.

Government Orders
Order. As much as I do not mind a bit of banter back and forth, we are not going to call each other names. I have let a lot go here and maybe that is what is creating this free flow. I want to make sure we are not calling each other names. I do not mind a quick snap once in a while, but let us not start that. The hon. member for Beauport—Limoilou.

Government Orders
I cannot comment, but I will ask the hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona to respond.
Government Orders
We are descending a bit into debate. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.
Government Orders
We have descended far too far and I have let this go on far too long. I believe we have gotten into too much debate on this issue. I do not think that is a point of order, but I do give opportunity to the members to rephrase things if they need to. I do not see anyone standing to try to rephrase, so we will move on to the member for Northumberland—Peterborough South.
Statements By Members
Madam Speaker, last Sunday was International Day of La Francophonie. French is the sixth most spoken language in the world. This day was celebrated in francophone countries, but also in the small but important communities of Baie Sainte‑Marie and Par‑en‑Bas.

Madam Speaker, last Sunday was International Day of La Francophonie. French is the sixth most spoken language in the world. This day was celebrated in francophone countries, but also in the small but important communities of Baie Sainte‑Marie and Par‑en‑Bas. As a proud Acadian who lives in the francophone region, I know how important this day is to all francophones in my community. For many generations, we have been working very hard to preserve our beautiful French language and promote the culture that sets us apart and showcases Acadia to the world. I want to thank and congratulate all those who contribute to growing our francophone communities throughout Nova Scotia. Francophonie Month is not over, and many activities are being held as part of Rendez-vous de la Francophonie to celebrate the francophonie, its diversity and its inclusivity across Canada.

Order. I know the temptation is there, but I would ask that we keep it down so we can actually hear the question the member is asking. The hon. member for Burnaby South.
Oral Questions
This is the last time that I am standing on this one. Quite honestly, I am getting tired of standing on this one. Let us try to keep a little decorum in the House. I know there is a lot of energy to be let out. I know that we are still happy to be here after a two-week break. It is good to be here to talk to folks to understand what is going on.
