Since I'm new to this, I have a couple of questions, or maybe points of order.
I cannot move an amendment to a subamendment, correct? It's not like the movie Inception. You can't keep going down and down. Okay.
Next, there are no motions. If I do have an amendment, I can do that after I get back on the speaking list. Okay.
As we start, I'd like to mention that I did pass an orange drink to my NDP colleague. If I'm unpersuasive in my comments, perhaps a bribe will work here this afternoon.
I miss a lot of my Liberal colleagues across the way. It reminds me of a joke my former boss used to make. There are all these people in an auditorium, and as you're giving a speech they all start slowly going out, one by one, until there's one person left in the auditorium. You say to him, “Thank you very much for staying.” The gentleman replies, “Don't thank me. I'm the next speaker.”
