Chamber, Lobbies, and Galleries

Feminists of the Year—Contestants

JAN LOGIE (Green) : I have been fortunate in the last hour to be in my office with the feminists of the year contestants. They are in the gallery, and I think this House would like the opportunity today to acknowledge them.

Mr SPEAKER: Could I perhaps suggest to the House that, rather than see this practice continue indefinitely, where members do wish to acknowledge visitors in the gallery, perhaps the appropriate way to do it would be to seek the leave of the House. All members know they are not meant to refer to visitors in the gallery. If members wishing to do something like that were to seek the leave of the House to have such people acknowledged, I think it would be a more appropriate way to go about it.
