KER (): Following an incident earlier today, for the benefit of all members—and in particular for all new members—I want to remind members of the procedures for when the attention of the Speaker or Deputy Speaker is drawn to the state of the House and the Speaker or Deputy Speaker observes that a quorum is not present. Standing order 56(d) is clear: no member may leave the chamber while the bells are ringing or until a quorum is present. I understand the member for Fairfax has indicated he would like the call.
