Last night during the vote, a Conservative member's vote was not counted because the government made a point of raising an issue with respect to his attire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8836117\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask you for clarification on the outfit this member is wearing. As we all know, men must wear a suit jacket and tie in order to speak. I see now that he has actually put a suit coat on. I ask for clarification.</p>",

Hier soir, pendant le vote, le vote d'un d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 comptabilis\u00e9 parce que le gouvernement a pris soin de rappeler le code vestimentaire \u00e0 la Chambre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8836117\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous demande des pr\u00e9cisions sur la tenue que porte ce d\u00e9put\u00e9. Comme nous le savons tous, les hommes doivent porter le veston-cravate pour prendre la parole. Je constate maintenant qu'il a enfil\u00e9 un veston. Je demande des pr\u00e9cisions.</p>"
