Mr. Chairman, with your permission, I would like to make a comment.
Although I am not in the habit of defending my colleague to the left, that fact remains that this type of thing would never happen in other parliaments. Last week, at the Bloc Québécois' Christmas party, the Speaker of the House was in attendance. He said that he would attend all the Christmas parties. I presume he is on the other side. I believe you have an excellent interlocutor in the Speaker of the House, but if we enforce the rules of order in the House, it seems to me we should also show some respect for parliamentarians. We are not here to have fun. I know you may find it tiresome to listen to Mr. Mulcair but, I personally, prefer his comments to this kind of music.
