Before I call the next speaker, I want to make a quick statement. Given I did not have the opportunity the other night, I want now to thank members of the House of Representatives for the honour of being elected as Second Deputy Speaker. So that I can properly represent my constituents and advocate for my community, I will continue to exercise my deliberative vote. To that end, it is my intention to leave the chair before any division takes place. I thank the House.
