This topic indeed is a very serious one and I would make these points. This is a chronic matter for our society to deal with. As the motion stands now it is not in the strictest sense a matter for an emergency debate. However all this might be moot in view of the fact it is my understanding that in just a short while I will be reading a motion in orders of the day. All hon. members will be able to join in to make their views known on this very important topic.
I wish to inform the House that pursuant to Standing Order 33(2) because of the ministerial statement Government Orders will be extended by 20 minutes.
