Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As you may be aware, although the hon. member for Vancouver East is some distance from the Chair, there unfortunately has been more heckling than one would want on the day when we receive the Speech from the Throne.

Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Elizabeth May: I am being heckled as I make this point, Mr. Speaker.

In your election, there were many commitments made in this place from many quarters that we want to see better decorum in Parliament. On the part of my ability to understand and hear the member who is right next to me, the heckling was too loud.
