Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I would like to ask you for clarification on the process we will follow for the rest of the afternoon.
My understanding is that today's debate is on Motion No. 16. We are debating the report on access to capital for small business that the industry committee members put together over the last several months. The previous speaker chose not to deal with the report not only during his main address but also during the eight minutes of the ten he took up during the question and answer period. Is it your position, Mr. Speaker, that members can speak on whatever they want for the rest of the afternoon or are we going to deal with Motion No. 16?
