Thank you, Madam Speaker. The other day, the Member for Yellowknife Centre gave me an idea for the Friday lighter side of things when he suggested that we should create new words to confuse the federal bureaucracy. I started thinking about the words and definitions.
Madam Speaker, a word like "Pollardization," this is a nervous condition suffered by the Northwest Territories Finance Minister when dealing...

..with the federal officials over the perversity factor.

When someone makes a "Lewisian" statement they are rambling and finally reveal the point of the speech at the end of it.
Another word is "Titusaphobia," this is the inability to make proper travel plans.
---Laughter
The world's best babysitters compete every year for the "Hamiltion Award," named in honour of one of the finest babysitters in the world.
---Laughter
When someone is "Ballantynian"...
---Laughter
...in their approach to life, they say things like even though I smoke and extra taxes will affect me, I none the less support the position the government has taken in this matter. A very noble statement indeed, Madam Speaker. Although I do not see how this tax will affect him, having never seen him buy a pack of cigarettes.

Madam Speaker, I was thinking of a word for the Speaker and I thought of some but I was kind of chicken. Thank you.
