Madam Speaker, I know. I am sorry. We all have EDAs, we all have riding associations and we all have care and control of these things. How hard is it as a politician not to do something, like not be partisan? How hard is that?

Mr. Speaker, it is not easy being the Speaker. It is not easy to be impartial. It is not easy to strive for neutrality. It is a hard thing to do, and that is why the position has such high-level requirements. Although our constituents are not interested in day-to-day debate, I would say that this affects them a great deal because it affects the House, which is not working well. Therefore, as my colleague said, I believe that the Speaker was unable to show that he had what it takes.
