Order, please. The Chair wants to caution the hon. member that the longstanding practice here is for members not to reflect on a vote or to make reference to the absence of members. I would ask the member for his cooperation in terms of past votes in the House. It is an area that is causing the Chair a tremendous amount of discomfort. I know the subject matter is an important one. I simply seek his cooperation.
In the House of Commons on October 2nd, 2003. See this statement in context.
