No, I did not. When I put the question to the House I asked the usual question, is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion, and everyone said yes, so I declared the motion carried. The hon. member, it is my recollection, was sitting in his seat at the time. I know he thinks he was standing but I did not see the hon. member standing. I saw him sitting. Accordingly, I did not proceed with him at that point. I am sorry that did not happen. However, is there agreement that we go back to that and have the hon. member make a speech?
In the House of Commons on February 6th, 2004. See this statement in context.
