Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you so much for being here today.
Mr. Janse, you mentioned that normally an attendee has no role during a special joint address of Parliament and that recognition of someone in the gallery does not normally occur.
When I look at chapter 9 of Bosc and Gagnon, I see that they do have, in figure 9.1, a list of all of the special addresses from 1940 until 2017 of special speakers in the House.
Would you know if there was ever somebody recognized in the gallery during one of these addresses? Is this the first time that someone was recognized by the Speaker during a joint address by the Speaker?
