The hon. member for Ottawa—Orléans.

[Royal Galipeau, Conservative, Ottawa—Orléans, ON]

Madam Speaker, I do not know where the hon. member is getting that idea from. I did not even leave the chamber. I have been in my seat for several votes now without leaving.

However, the hon. member for Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques hurried in after you began reading the question and laughed nervously as he voted.

[The Deputy Speaker, Denise Savoie]

Order. The matter is settled. In keeping with tradition, we will take the hon. member at his word.

The hon. member for Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques.
