Madam Speaker, yesterday we adopted an order of this House to extend the sitting tonight until 9 p.m. However, because of ministerial statements this morning approximately one-half hour of normal debating time was deducted from that which would otherwise have been time for hon. members to speak on today's order of the House.
After consultation with members across I think you will find there is consent to extend the sitting tonight by yet another half hour, that is to say until 9.30 p.m. to enable more hon. members to make their comments.
