Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wasn't aware 29 would be in here. This is the clause that is now changing all Members to be -- before they can sit in this House instead of swearing allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors must now swear allegiance to His Majesty Charles III, King of Canada, his heirs and successors.

As I've stated before, I think this is an outdated oath and if people want to serve their government without swearing oath to the heirs and successors of our King, they should be able to do so. I will not be in support of this. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
