I would like to thank the hon. member for Carleton for his intervention. I would like to inform the House, though, that this is not the first time that the Speaker has interrupted the proceedings to make a statement from the Chair between the point of S.O. 31s and Oral Questions.
So that everybody can understand this very clearly, my immediate predecessor, for example, has done this on at least two occasions, and it has also been done by Speakers in the past. I am going to continue with this statement. I think it is important for all members to understand this.
I would like to reassure the member for Carleton and all members that there are going to be no new Standing Orders that would require the approval of members.
I would invite members to listen to this statement in order to be able to improve order and decorum in this House.
