Well, you're always welcome. It's a big family on this side. You're always welcome to join our side.
This, then, is my concern, if we proceed with this motion without this amendment. This amendment ensures that we parliamentarians protect Parliament—from ourselves, from our vices, but also to edify an institution that we've been given to steward. That's our primary role. We have a responsibility to our constituents, but we also have a responsibility to leave this place better for the next person who takes our seat in the House of Commons.
We had the Daughters of the Vote. These young ladies came. Someday some of them may sit. We're stewarding it for their generation and for the generation that comes afterwards.
I have another article that I want to refer to, again on procedures and politics. It concerns government motion 6. I know that this has been mentioned before by other speakers. I don't want to so much mention the content of it as take a couple of the ideas in this article, because it speaks to the way we do amendments to the Standing Orders and where our rights and privileges as members come from.
As I mentioned before, Standing Orders are meant to give voice to our privileges as members, they don't grant us privileges. One of our privileges is the freedom to speak. I have that opportunity now to speak and express myself.
In the House of Commons, it's not unlimited. Standing Orders constrain me. I agree to the constraint, quite obviously, because other members have the right as well to be heard.
We just had a motion that a member be heard, because they had an important point to make.
