Mr. Speaker, I guess, you know, I recognize it's largely a symbolic position but from where I sit, one of the parts that kind of rubbed me wrong is the mandatory nature of swearing an oath of allegiance. You know, perhaps you're an Irish member and there's been some blood shed on both sides of that. Perhaps you're of Scottish descent and you got a grandpa who's a strong independence movement, Mr. Speaker. You know, there's no shortage of countries that have fought very hard to be free of our sweet Queen's rule.
But my question is, does our Premier support amending the rules of this House so that, you know, if there is a Member who is a Republican, they do not have to swear allegiance to the Queen and can take their seat in this House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
