Barry Campbell Liberal St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wanted to clarify that we had concurred earlier at the time the debate was wrapping up that the hon. member for Calgary Centre had four more minutes. He was quite insistent in debate on several occasions that he had been done out of that time.
We are very happy to yield to him those four minutes that remain in his debate and then to carry on with the government side.
