I just want to remind members that there is some flexibility during speeches. However, hon. members do need to ensure that their speech is related to the bill and should mention the bill from time to time during their speech, if possible, or aspects within the bill. The hon. member for Battle River—Crowfoot.

I would again remind members that speeches and comments should be related to the matter before the House. If the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay could make the link, that would be great.

I would remind hon. members, and I have mentioned this on a number of occasions, there is some leeway. As long as members bring it back to the bill and relate to the bill somehow, there is some leeway in the speeches. On another point of order, the hon. member for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford.

Mr. Speaker, with regard to hypocrisy, I refer back to Neville Chamberlain when he referred to Czechoslovakia's invasion by Nazi Germany. He referred to Czechoslovakia as a “faraway” land. In reply to that, Sir Winston Churchill gave one of his greatest speeches, a speech of impunity that Roy Jenkins said was one of his greatest, in which he called Chamberlain an absolute coward, a capitulator. We should learn from such great men, not just about hypocrisy but also about keeping our solemn oaths to freedom and democracy in this world.

The hon. member knows there is a lot of latitude in how members present their speeches on a bill. I will let the hon. member pursue.

The hon. member knows that members have some leeway on how they deliver their speeches. The hon. member for Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière‑du‑Loup has to address the topic of the bill and I will allow him to finish his speech. He has two minutes left.
