I am wondering whether someone else can second the motion because the hon. member who was supposed to do so is not present in the House. An hon. member: The hon. member for Willowdale will do it.

The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby on a point of order.

An apology is accepted, and I would hope that would also serve as an example of what we will try to avoid in the future.

There seem to be quite a few individuals having conversations. I would ask them to take their conversations outside so the hon. member can have the respect of the House. The hon. member for Etobicoke Centre.

Members are to say what is in the petition. It is not for an hon. member to promote an event or to support the petition.

I would remind the hon. member that he cannot say whether he is in support or not in support; saying that he is standing with the petitioners is showing support. I would just ask members not to do that and to just read what is in the petition.

I want to remind members to have their phones off. We have only 10 seconds for—
