Mr. Speaker, I need to preface this before I thank the hon. member for Nanaimo—Ladysmith, in case anyone has forgotten how unlikely it is that I am deeply grateful to her for her work, her diligence and her ability to analyze legislation. It still breaks my heart to hear “The hon. member for Nanaimo—Ladysmith” and not have it be Green Party member Paul Manly.
I have to pay tribute to this member. Every word she just said was excellent. We should be listening. Her words, “vote first and understand later”, should be put up in neon lights as the defining words of this session.
