I did not hear those conversations. At times when we are paying tribute and at other times in the debates, I would hope we would take the time to listen to what we all have to say in the House.
I do not want to go into a debate on this issue. It is just a normal thing that we accept. I ask my colleagues once again, when we are making tributes, when we are asking or answering questions, or when we are debating in the House, that we give each other the respect that is due a member of the Canadian Parliament.
I say this to no specific member, but I say it to all of us so that we will be apprised of the situation.
