And there's a difference between passion, which Ms. Hoeppner showed very much at the early part when she spoke.... She was very passionate, she was moved to tears. I did not stop her at that time. It's appropriate for a member to be passionate and to be moved. I think that what I heard was an insinuation that I thought was disrespectful. Of course. if Ms. Hoeppner had wished to point it out, she could have said I would like to point out to the honourable member that some of her people did not vote for this. That's a different thing. It's not to think about what you should be doing and how you should be making that decision. That's a different thing.
