ps: Recall that dragging the Speaker up the aisle relates to a time in Britain when there was legitimate concern that the Monarch would arrest, imprison, torture, or even execute anyone who dared to question the Absolute Right.  I think all Canadians have too much respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to fear any such actions now.  So volunteer Speakers-for-the-day would probably not have to be dragged to the Chair.  It is possible they might have to be dragged out of it.
