Government Orders
(Title agreed to) Shall the bill carry?
Routine Proceedings
We will have to go back and take that under advisement for the member. In the meantime, I am going to allow the hon. parliamentary secretary to continue his speech.
Routine Proceedings
All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion will please say nay. It is agreed. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed will please say nay. (Motion agreed to)

All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion will please say nay.
Routine Proceedings
Order. I do believe we are getting a little off topic here.
Government Orders
(Bill agreed to) Shall I rise and report the bill?
Routine Proceedings
I do not really think people were trying to read it. It is really hard to read at that kind of distance.
Routine Proceedings
There we go. Everybody take a breath. Order. The hon. parliamentary secretary.
Government Orders
No. I did reference “if available”. Whether I say if somebody is in the House or not means whether they are available and whether they can. I am not the debater of what is required and what is not in this particular case. Folks, I am going to move on to the next speaker, which is the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
The hon. member for Don Valley North is rising on a point of order.
Government Orders
I thank the member for his statement. I assure him that the House will be making the appropriate changes to the seating plan. We will take a quick breather here for a moment before we go back to questions and comments.
Government Orders
I will provide a bit of a caution to members to make sure that we stick to the debate we are having tonight. The hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona.
Government Orders
I appreciate the hon. member wants to ask a question, but the availability of a member is important when it comes to answering. The courtesy is whether they stay or not.
Government Orders
I appreciate the point of order.
Government Orders
I know we are getting into a really strange place.
Government Orders
Could you give me a moment while I have the Chair? I will get to the hon. member in a moment. I can see the hon. member, and I will get to him as soon as I possibly can. I also see that there is an opportunity here to remind folks that we do not want to set precedents that we do not want to support ourselves.

Could you give me a moment while I have the Chair? I will get to the hon. member in a moment. I can see the hon. member, and I will get to him as soon as I possibly can. I also see that there is an opportunity here to remind folks that we do not want to set precedents that we do not want to support ourselves. I do not want to see government members doing the same thing, when the opposition is trying to ask questions as well. It would create a problem later on down road. The hon. member for Kitchener Centre with the same point of order, I believe.
Government Orders
I will read from the Standing Orders. I will complete the clause that says, “Following any speech by the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, a minister moving a government order, or the member speaking in reply immediately after such minister, and following any 20-minute speech, a period not exceeding 10 minutes shall be made available, if required, to allow members to ask questions and … Read full speechShow less
I will read from the Standing Orders. I will complete the clause that says, “Following any speech by the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, a minister moving a government order, or the member speaking in reply immediately after such minister, and following any 20-minute speech, a period not exceeding 10 minutes shall be made available, if required, to allow members to ask questions and comment briefly on matters relevant to the speech and to allow responses thereto.” Bosc and Gagnon state, “If the questions and comments period is interrupted by another proceeding, when debate resumes on the motion, the questions and comments period will continue only if the Member who made the initial speech is present.” There is also a ruling from 1986 that I can go and dig up, if people want. As much as I am uncomfortable with what is going on here tonight, I believe there is a small piece of input from the hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona.
Government Orders
I do not know if that was any better, but there you go. While I recognize the late hour and the energy that everybody seems to be experiencing, I want to make sure that everybody has the opportunity to speak and be heard when they have that opportunity. Right now, the floor is to the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader with eight minutes and 57 seconds left.
Government Orders
There is a point of order by the hon. member for Pickering—Uxbridge.
Government Orders
That is not really a point of order, but the hon. member will have questions and comments after he finishes his speech in two minutes and 53 seconds. I would ask everyone to come to order. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader has the floor.
Government Orders
Let me get in one more question. The hon. member for Abitibi—Témiscamingue.
Government Orders
The question is on the motion. If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division or wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

Is the House ready for the question?
Routine Proceedings
It is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith the question necessary to dispose of the motion now before the House. The question is on the motion. If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division or wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

Government Orders
I am really impressed that the hon. member was talking about the canals in Nova Scotia. The historic Shubenacadie Canal was on the list. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon.
