Colleagues, a little earlier in the House one of our members, as I said, was using a prop. He used the Canadian flag. I am very hard pressed to intervene at any time.
I am not sure the statements were designed for the singing of a song, but I am very hard pressed not to have you, the members of the Parliament of Canada stand and sing our national anthem. In keeping with this, I was going to wait until three o'clock, but I think I will proceed now.
I would like to introduce to members and to all of the citizens in Canada the two designers of our Canadian flag, Mr. Stanley and Mr. Matheson who are with us today.
