There is one other item before everybody leaves. On the day members did me the honour of electing me as their Speaker, I spoke of my long-standing open-door policy and my intention to continue to be accessible and available to discuss ideas and concerns with my colleagues, whatever their political affiliation.
During the conversation with the member for Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, he made a great suggestion: provide members with a suggestion box.
I thought that was an excellent idea. I am therefore very pleased to announce that, today, I will be unveiling a suggestion box, made from recycled materials, that has been installed near my office here in West Block.
I invite members to join me and the member for Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola in the Speaker's corridor at 4 p.m. for the official unveiling of the box.
I encourage all members to submit their ideas on how to improve the House of Commons. I look forward to working with all of you, beginning right now in 2020.
