My apologies, Mr. Speaker. I think I started before the light came on and then after that a bunch of ministers came in and started yapping over there and you could not hear me.
Referring to the member for Winnipeg North who started all this, the only noise that gave him a problem in hearing, if there was a problem, was the heartbeat of the government whip when he fully realized that he was in trouble, running, tripping and flipping up the hallway to get members out of the camp cot cover-up.
We need to carry on here. My hon. friend across the way spoke about hearing. I have a hearing problem as well. I joke about it myself. However, the member for Winnipeg North has clearly tried to make bad hearing an excuse. It was an opportunity for him to try to delay this to get members in the chamber. I can name six or seven ministers, but I will not, who came in after, plus the Prime Minister. Therefore, let us get on with this.
