I'm just going to say right now to the to the member for Burt that there are extensive citations in the Practice about repetitive quorum calls, and the House has determined this matter not very long ago. I am placing the member for Burt on notice that there are serious consequences that Speakers have ruled on in the past.

The bells being rung—

Quorum present. Member for Page, do you wish to continue? No. No-one's seeking the call. The House stands adjourned until 9.30 am tomorrow.
