The Speaker addressed the House:-

Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée :-

I would like to bring to the attention of the Members of the House the following appointments that have been made to the list of officers who serve the House:

Trevor Day and Anne Stokes have been appointed Clerks-at-the-Table.

As Table Officers, they will serve the members in a permanent capacity and assist the Clerk and Deputy Clerk in providing procedural advice to the Speaker and to the Members.

I am certain that all members will join me in congratulating Mr. Day and Ms. Stokes as they assume their new responsibilities.

Congratulations, and welcome.

The Speaker addressed the House:-

Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée :-

I would like to take this opportunity to address the House on the issue of the use of electronic devices in the Chamber.

As Members will know, there is a nominal prohibition on the use of any communication devices in the House. However, the practice has developed whereby the Speaker will overlook Members using certain devices, as long as their use is silent, unobtrusive and not complained about by other Members.

Members may not read directly from these devices while they have the floor, nor may the telephone or camera functions ever be used.

I remind Members of these restrictions as a result of having certain infractions drawn to my attention; notably, photos taken and repeated instances of ringing phones on the floor of the House.

I ask all Members to ensure their phones are on silent mode whenever they are in the Chamber, and to observe current practice while at their places in this Chamber, in particular the prohibition against using the camera function.
