I just want to remind hon. members of two things. One, we are not to speak of someone's presence in the House, whether they are here or not.
Two, another hon. member, I do not want to name him, should know that if he is sitting next to a microphone and it is on and the person who is speaking is trying to get a message across, it makes it hard for the rest of us to understand what she is saying, and I am very interested in hearing what the hon. member has to say.
The hon. member for Portage—Lisgar.
