I want to thank the hon. member, and yes, it was his posture, because I looked and I could not see it, but I see it now.
I thank the hon. member for Sydney—Victoria for raising the point of order. As he pointed out, I made a short, informal statement about the need for members to be appropriately attired, including a jacket and tie for men, when intervening in the proceedings. As members know, this remains an important element in upholding the standard of decorum in the House. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that the long-standing practice of members wearing indigenous attire is also appropriate during their participation in the proceedings. In these circumstances, due to the virtual participation of members, it was difficult to tell if the member was, in fact, appropriately attired, which he was. I thank the House for its attention to this matter.
I would rather remind all members, rather than interrupt the member in the middle of his statement, which he did an excellent job with.
The hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Labour is rising on a point of order.
