Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 7 words I have a quick point of order. Procedure Anecdote · 33 words I hate to interrupt the hon. member’s speech. Our ridings share a border, and so we are neighbouring members of Parliament. My riding goes all the way to Melville where her riding begins. Anecdote Thanks · 30 words I have enjoyed serving with her for the last decade or so, and it pains me greatly to have to bring up this point of order during her farewell speech. Thanks Procedure · 22 words I will avail myself of the opportunity to hopefully ask a question or make a comment when she has finished her speech. Procedure Claims · 12 words However, earlier today, the Speaker ruled on the admissibility of this motion, 1 Reasoning · 12 words which does have several knock-on effects, including what might happen at committee. Procedure · 31 words I want to give notice to the Chair that we may come back later on today to make a submission on some of the dynamics and some of those moving pieces. Procedure
