Colleagues, it's 2 p.m., and we're ready to go back into session.
Colleagues, it's been a long time. There's no question about it. We're all human beings, and it's been a long time because everybody has a good reason for it to be a long time.
I'm not asking you to respect the reasons that your colleagues have—far from it. That's what we do: We argue about policy, we argue about methods and we argue about principles.
However, you are all duly elected by your constituents, you're in one of the most honoured places in Canada and you swore an oath to serve it. That means that although you have no obligation to respect your colleagues' positions, you do have an obligation to respect your colleagues. That would be what is necessary to reflect to your constituents that you're dedicated to them.
As I said, that we're human. I understand why it's a little bit heated at the moment with the many hours that this has gone on, but let's pay each other the respect that is due, continue the debate and see how our debate continues to maybe dispose of this motion.
I'll go back to Mr. Barrett, and I'm going to remind us all of the speaking order again before I give the floor to Mr. Barrett. It is Mr. Barrett, Mr. Angus, Mr. Sorbara, Mr. Fergus and Madame Gaudreau.
Go ahead, Mr. Barrett.
