Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I have the deepest respect for the petitions that are brought forward. I just would not want to see something taking place that cannot be done directly.
If, in fact, it is part of the Conservative agenda to introduce petitions of this nature, I do not believe it would be appropriate. I say this more as a warning. This is the first time I have heard that petition. We hope not to hear its constant repetition, because it refers to a member's absence or presence inside the chamber.
