Mr. Speaker, of course you know also that was just one example that I used.
If I could answer in the clearest shortest way possible, I am a July 1 baby and I happened to care pretty deeply about that so I did disagree with your position, but I did not bring forward a motion of censure on the Speaker. I thought I made that very clear in my speech. There are all kinds of things that you have ruled on that I have disagreed with. Who cares? Some of us agree, some of us disagree. That is fine. The member over there can certainly have his decision and say he agreed with you. That is great. I disagreed with you. I got my say. I did not get my way. That is fine. I respect that.
The actual point I referred to about the flag flap decision was the fact that you equivocated for three weeks about it. You probably went through more pain than any of the rest of us. I am not sure if it was three weeks but it was a long time. Who am I to give you advice but if you asked for it, I would probably say the quickest decision is always the best decision. Maybe not the spur of the moment decision but think it through.
I guess I have to go back to high school, Mr. Speaker. You know that if we had students who were misbehaving we could not tell them to just sit there for a while and we will come back by the Easter holiday. You know that if there is to be punishment or a decision to be made they will respect us as teachers better if we think it through, then come back and be decisive. We know that.
The flag flap was just one example. Maybe it was not the best but it is the one I was thinking of because I happen to be wildly in love with those two Canadian flags hanging beside you. They are gorgeous.
