Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Since the business card would have my electoral riding name on it, I am wondering if they could go hand in hand and I could do them both together.

The Speaker Tony Whitford

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess it is a chicken and egg type of thing. The Private Member's Bill could be introduced in the fall Session. That takes a bit of time to see through. Perhaps if the Member wanted to hold off making any changes to the card, that is one way of going about doing it. For the time being, using the existing cards would probably get the message across of who he is and where he can be contacted.

I think it would take a bit of time if you are waiting for one to complement the other. If the riding name changes and you wanted that done, that would take some time to do. It is not a process that can happen overnight.
