Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly did read those words in the House, as the Speaker knows. It was a poem that was given to me that outlined the experience which happened to be a terrible experience that my constituent had had in accessing income assistance. So I did read the poem just about in its entirety, on the advice of both the Speaker and the Clerk. I did leave out some sensitive words.

I did see the name “Lynn” in the document. I didn’t know if that had been the name of an actual person or had been substituted to rhyme with “walks in” or what. But I didn’t ask that question, either. It didn’t actually cross my mind.

There’s no question that I did read those words out. They certainly weren’t intended to identify an individual or anything like that. That’s all I have to say. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
