Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I would like very much, Mr. Speaker, if I could ask you to ask my colleagues to not presume to judge who I am. I stand here as a woman who has worn the uniform, who has given birth while wearing the uniform. To have assumptions about who I am or what I am and to judge me or any of my other colleagues who have worn the uniform is an offense to me, and I would ask that you advise them not to presume anything about me. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
