Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a major loss occurred approximately two weeks ago when this honourable Member, in response to the dapper and debonair standards of this House, were called into jeopardy, Mr. Speaker.
As a result of these standards, proceeding from the Centre Square Mail area to my domicile, it became evident that my suit appendage was missing. Mr. Speaker, 26 appendages - or neck ties in some circles -- were gone astray. Retracing my steps, I was not able to recover the appendages, but lo and behold, the Honourable John Todd jumped into the breach and presented me with two wonderful ties.
However, Mr. Speaker, as most Members know, because my neck and my style are a little different than the Honourable John Todd, I have only worn those ties twice. I will endeavour to reciprocate the honourable Member when he comes to Iqaluit next week for his visit and I would recommend to the Minister that he would wear the pull-away ties on his visit to Iqaluit. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
