I really appreciate the points of orders and comments that have been made. I want to indicate that in the past there have been issues raised with buttons. Whether they say “oil sands” or not, I can tell members that those buttons have been raised and the hon. members have been asked to remove those buttons. In other instances, there have been opportunities for ribbons or different things to be used to mark specific days and events.
I am going to review the comments that have been made again. In the meantime, I would ask that members not wear anything that can be seen as a prop, especially when we are debating that specific issue.
I will discuss this further with the Speaker as well and we will come back to the House on this matter.
