—and the joys of the voting process that my colleague Mademoiselle Latendresse experienced. But I can well imagine—and don't think I'm all touchy-feely here—that there would be some kind of diffuse bonding process that must go on when you're electing a Speaker through the current process. When everybody is in the chamber, especially a lot of new MPs, it is kind of a chance to get a feel for the institution and a little bit for personalities.
If discussions go on across the aisle, surely all of those are to the good.
Also, would you concede that maybe there is something lost? If we measure only the time, I get your point. Should we at least recognize that there are other goods in the process we currently have that we would be losing?
