I am going to ask all members, please, not to take the floor while the Speaker is addressing Parliament.
It has been the tradition of this place to ask very tough questions to keep government accountable. It is important for government, of course, to provide very clear answers, but we try to do this in a way that allows people to treat each other with decorum and respect.
The hon. member has sat in this chair in this position once before. Yesterday we asked a number of members to, when they were referring to a particular member, withdraw that same word that I am just asking for today. I just asked the hon. member to withdraw that word so we could just move on.
