Mr. Speaker, if you will allow me a very brief moment to respond, I do not know whether or not I responded to heckling from another member.
One knows of the debate that was occurring only moments ago in the House. If I did, there was no intention on my part to be disrespectful to anyone.
I came to the House 31 years ago, I guess it will be in a few days. I started as a busboy in the parliamentary restaurant with nothing but respect for this great institution.
The day I leave here—and I hope it is not soon—I hope it is after having had nothing but respect not only for the House but for everyone who served here.
