Presence in the Gallery  I have another recognition. Almost 150 years ago, journalists took their seats for the first time in the reporters’ gallery of the original Centre Block, and the Parliamentary Press Gallery was born. Today, press gallery members continue to have a place set aside in this chamber, and they perform an important democratic function.

Presence in the Gallery  The member is engaging in debate, as he knows. I appreciate the apology. The member cannot engage in debate as a point of order. This is debate.

Presence in the Gallery  I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the Ladies Gallery of the participants of the 13th Canadian Parliamentary Seminar, organized by the Canadian Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.

Request for Emergency Debate  The Chair has notice of a request for an emergency debate from the hon. member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan.

Dairy Industry  I would ask the hon. member for Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis to exercise restraint. The hon. member for Lakeland has the floor.

Veterans Affairs  I am not sure what the problem was. There seems to be some reaction to something. The hon. member for London—Fanshawe has the floor. I ask her to put her question.

Ministerial Expenses  The hon. member for Red Deer—Lacombe.

Democratic Reform  I know members do not want to question the intelligence of members here. We have a very intelligent group, all 337, and then there is me, but that is another matter. The hon. member for Abitibi—Témiscamingue.

Democratic Reform  I am going to ask the member for Brantford—Brant not to speak when someone else has the floor. He knows better than that, and we all do. Most members are able to hear things they do not like and disagree with them without reacting. That is what we should all do because we are all adults.

House debate  It being Wednesday, we will now have the singing of the national anthem led by the pages. [Members sang the national anthem]

Criminal Code  I declare the motion carried. (Bill read the third time and passed)

Criminal Code  It being 6:06, the House will now proceed to the consideration of private members' business as listed on today's Order Paper.

Criminal Code  I declare the amendment defeated. The next question is on the main motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

Criminal Code  All those in favour of the motion will please say yea.

Criminal Code  All those opposed will please say nay.
