that the honorable member for hall elmer has been elected as speaker
00:00:34.320
let us welcome the new speaker of the house of commons
00:01:14.000
We have to follow the rules of the House of Commons.
00:01:36.440
And when we follow them, we will have a fruitful debate, important debate, and it will give
00:01:42.800
us the opportunity to proceed with mutual respect.
00:01:49.400
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your trust.
00:01:51.760
I hope that I will earn it over the coming years.
00:01:55.740
I hope I will have the opportunity to speak with each one of you to get to know you better.
00:02:01.040
And in this way, we will really set an example for all Canadians.
00:02:08.660
We want to show them that politics is a noble profession.
00:02:11.800
Thank you, and I wish you the greatest success.
00:02:18.400
This should be inspiring for all Canadians, especially younger generations who want to
00:02:35.620
Members of Parliament come from every corner of the country to represent their communities.
00:02:41.400
Canadians from coast to coast to coast elect us to work hard for them and to be their voices
00:02:49.000
They elected us to deliver results to help make their lives better.
00:02:58.200
And the only way we can make progress is by working together, by respecting each other.
00:03:05.200
The House of Commons is a place for debating ideas.
00:03:11.800
It's normal that we don't always agree with our colleagues.
00:03:16.400
Mr. Speaker, we elected you to help us to be civil in our debates.
00:03:23.400
To remind us that we are all here for the same reason, which is to serve Canadians.
00:03:28.400
It's essential times for Canada and for the world.
00:03:32.000
We must continue to work together to make life more affordable, to build more homes, to keep
00:03:37.800
our democracy strong, to fight climate change and power the clean economy of tomorrow.
00:03:44.400
The reason that these floors and seats are green is because the first commoners met in
00:03:51.400
They were the peasants and the farmers who were tired of having their crops taxed away by an
00:04:03.400
And they gathered to force King John to sign the Magna Carta, the Great Charter, which of
00:04:13.400
And today, we have a similar circumstance with a government that is excessively powerful
00:04:20.800
and costly, that has overburdened the population, created unprecedented strain, particularly on
00:04:29.300
middle class and working class peoples, who are now forced in many cases to live in tents,
00:04:41.460
We have 7 million who cannot afford food because of the inflationary taxes imposed upon that
00:04:53.420
And so now more than ever, the role of Parliament in restraining the power of the Prime Minister
00:05:01.860
And we will continue to carry out that role proudly on the floor of this House of Commons, because
00:05:06.440
we will always remember that we are servants and not masters of it.
00:05:14.740
Move forward to seeing the nation of Magna Carta.
00:05:16.020
Well done for building Gün, you are critical demands.
00:05:17.020
All around us King John Dx has been a great deal right.
