Mr. Speaker, I do not specifically want to comment on the strategies employed by the Chair, other than to indicate my support for the Chair and its occupant.
I do agree that this was not one of our better days. I do not want to say it was the worst one we have ever seen. I have been around here a long time too and I remember a number of others. But it is true that this was not up to the standard which we have established over the last year, year and half or perhaps before that.
Maybe one good idea would be for all of us, as we gather tomorrow at our weekly caucus meetings, to review and gather our thoughts to determine what we can do.
In the spirit of the season, notwithstanding the insults flying across the way, we should do what we can to co-operate at least over the number of days remaining before we adjourn for the holiday season.
If there are parties that have been aggrieved today, and no doubt some were because of the shortage of questions, maybe if we do a better job of being brief in our questions over the next few days, then we will at least make up for any grievance that might have come forward today.
That is what I would hope and I offer it as a suggestion not to the Chair, but to all of us, to help make this place work better over the next five or six days until we adjourn for the holiday season.
