With regard to the point of order of the Bloc Québécois concerning the alleged gesture made yesterday by the member for Essex during a vote, I have reviewed the video tape and found nothing. Consequently, given that the member provided an explanation, I consider the matter closed.
However, I would like to remind members of the importance of serious and dignified behaviour at all times, but especially at the time of a recorded division.
I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded division government orders will be extended by eight minutes.
