I would remind the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan that, although we are in adjournment proceedings and there are no points of order and such, nonetheless we adopt the same general principles that we apply to other debates in this place, and we avoid references to the absence or presence of members. I did note that the member made a reference to a minister's presence before committee, which is not out of bounds, but certainly as it relates to the chamber here, yes, this is something to keep an eye on for the future.
The hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
