    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I echo the sentiments of my distinguished brother across the Floor, but want to bring to your attention the fact that when schools come to Parliament, I believe they come to learn and see the House in action. Therefore, it is extremely unfair to any visiting school to be brought to the gallery at 5.00 p.m., yet we sit from 2.30 p.m. If we want these children to learn what their senior citizens do in this House, they should be allowed to come in at the start of the House, if possible see the Speaker’s procession, how the Order Paper is handled, statements are sought, petitions are presented and debate is conducted. It is not even good for the image of this House to bring children here when there are only five of us in the House, when we are supposed to be 67. Members have left to various Committees and other businesses. Worse still, the Chair does not even know that he has visitors. I want to encourage the office of the Clerk and Serjeant-at-Arms, because they are the ones who manage visits to the House, to do better so that our children leave the Senate with an impression that this is a place to come and learn. I am sure some of them aspire to become Senators when some of you will have retired and some of us will have become Presidents and moving elsewhere."
