Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I appreciate the opportunity, and certainly there are elements to the procedural realities of Parliament that I am also getting used to. For the benefit of the clerk, it is the same motion that would have been circulated last Wednesday afternoon, if my memory is correct. I'd be happy to hold on for a brief moment.
Let me take this opportunity to thank the clerk and all those who work diligently during these challenging times to make sure that Parliament can function. They are to be applauded for their efforts, from the security to the staff who run the buildings to those who deal with the legislative matters. Thank you very much for that.
Madam Chair, I'm happy to read the motion into the record. However, as it was distributed and has now been distributed once again, I would have a number of comments if it is allowed to stand as presented.
