I just want to finish what I was saying to Mr. Carrie.
We're not about to decide today, with the adoption of the motion, whether or not to have a three-hour debate in the House of Commons. That decision will be made later by the political parties if one of them asks that the report be concurred in. Adopting the motion won't automatically result in a three-hour debate.
Need I remind members that when our first report on the manufacturing sector was tabled, there was no three-hour debate. There could have been one and there could possibly be one this time, if such a request is made. The principle will apply if this motion is adopted. The committee will report to the House and if one of the parties wants a three-hour debate, then there will be no avoiding one. However, if no one asks, then it won't happen.
