Further to those statements, the list of candidates is revised accordingly.
In all, there will be six candidates.
Pursuant to Standing Order 3.1, the House must proceed to the speeches from each candidate for the Speakership.
Notwithstanding any standing order, any usual procedure or any practice adopted by this House, and to help the newly elected members identify the candidates for the office of Speaker, I will recognize in alphabetical order each candidate by name and electoral district.
When the last candidate to address the House completes his or her speech, I will leave the chair for 30 minutes, after which members will proceed to the election of the Speaker.
I will now call upon Sean Casey, the hon. member for Charlottetown, to address the House for not more than five minutes.
