Order. The hon. government House leader will come to order.
The parliamentary secretary should check the record to see that in fact it is the case, as I have said, that Speakers in the past, when they heard noes and it was clear that there was not unanimous consent, did not hear the rest of the motion.
I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded divisions, government orders will be extended by 16 minutes.
The hon. opposition House leader has the usual Thursday question. Of course, I thank members for their assistance.
