The subject matter of the amendment is a matter for all Members. In terms of how people speak or address the House, however, we are 158 very diverse people who bring our own experiences and thoughts to bear.

It is not a highly desirable situation to try to force anyone to try to speak our particular, individual language. Deputies are entitled to express their views and we are entitled to disagree with them if we want to.
