It’s always an honour to be able to speak. We are in opposition to this motion. I would like to recognize that this motion does allow the committees for estimates to sit; that’s very important.

Starting at a later date, it does eliminate time for question period, and question period is one of the most important parts of our system, so we do rue that. But it is incredibly important to spend time in all our communities, and we recognize that. And—

Interjection.

I would just like to give a plug for the 2023 International Plowing Match. And just where this is—I believe it’s in the health minister’s riding. It is in an area called Bowling Green and Laurel—even the names are beautiful—in the municipalities of Amaranth and Grand Valley. And on behalf of the minister and everyone else who’s working so hard on that—I know it takes thousands of volunteers to pull this off—please take the opportunity and see what rural Ontario has to offer.

We are incredibly opposed to this motion, but very supportive of the plowing match.
