Madam Speaker, I am very sorry to hear about the events in the member's riding today, and my heart goes out to all those affected.
I am glad to see him. I am glad to see everybody in this room. I have not hugged him yet, but I might before the week is out.
I agree with much of what the member said today. There has been a lot of rhetoric in the last 24 hours on this motion. The rhetoric was amped up already. We were talking about hockey games and concerts and all those things. I am looking at the motion, and I cannot figure out for the life of me why we are having that discussion because what this motion does not say is that I cannot come here. I plan on being here.
Therefore, what we need to do is talk about some of the issues the member raised in his speech and we can do that as soon as this motion is passed. I think the member will find most of us are here. Please, can you go to your colleagues and get unanimous consent on this motion so we can get back to work, because I am going to be here and so are most of us.
