Madam Speaker, 2022 marks the platinum jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. In 1975, 2002 and 2012, the governments of the day issued jubilee medals to mark this historic occasion and delivered them to deserving Canadians. If these past 20 months have shown us anything, it is that there are so many deserving Canadians who stepped up in the fight against COVID-19, yet here we stand in December 2021, with no announcement of the platinum jubilee medal. Will the Minister of Canadian Heritage take immediate action to create a platinum jubilee medal to recognize so many deserving Canadians on this momentous historic occasion?

Madam Speaker, "in due time”? Unless their calendar was broken, the Liberals have known 2022 has been coming for some time. Whether they are truck drivers, first responders, health care workers, those working in the food supply chain, the military or veterans, all of these Canadians stepped up over the last 20 months during the fight against COVID-19 and are so deserving of recognition through a platinum jubilee medal. Will the minister do the right thing and take this platinum opportunity to recognize Canadians?

Madam Speaker, on a point of order. I think all members in the House ought to have respect for the rules and traditions of this place. What we just saw was the member for Niagara Centre ask a question during question period as a parliamentary secretary. Precedence in this places states that parliamentary secretaries cannot ask questions of their own government. I would draw the Speaker's attention to Hansard, page 3,103, February 4, 2005, when the Speaker ruled, “Order, please. I am afraid this is my mistake, but of course a parliamentary secretary cannot ask a question of his own cabinet.” I expect that the Liberal government will have more respect for this place in the future.
