Mr. Speaker, I understand the opposition member's concern about the consequences and the debate that is taking place on a number of issues.
However, this morning, I want to focus on the fact that I made a mistake and behaved in a way that was unbecoming of a parliamentarian. I take full responsibility for my actions and I apologize. We will work together to improve the way the House works, but I know that the problems we have been having in that regard do not justify my behaviour last night.
