Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my friend and colleague from New Westminster—Burnaby for doing what I did not do during my 20 minutes, which is to thank the resources of the House and the people who work so hard to make sure everything about democracy that we all love and hold so dear happens. I would also add the analysts, the Library of Parliament and all the clerks. The whip is saying I should include the whip. I thank the pages especially, because we played soccer against the pages, and I will not talk about the score. Should I talk about the score? Is it fair to talk about the scores? The MP side did win this time, by only one point, but my favourite part of that was that the pages held up a sign during the game that said “Get your own water!”, so for the next three months I am going to get my own water. I appreciate that. I would reiterate the kind gesture from my friend and colleague from New Westminster—Burnaby. I thank all the workers. I thank all the people who are supporting workers across our country, and I thank everybody in Ottawa who works so hard. We will see them in September.
