You all know our dress code in the House. At times we do permit voting by males who do not have shirts and ties on. Today I am giving special permission to one of our members to speak in the House. He will be wearing a turtleneck. I refer to the hon. member for New Brunswick Southwest who has just had a medical procedure. We will therefore relax the rules today as he cannot wear a collar around his neck.
In the House of Commons on February 15th, 2000. See this statement in context.
