Mr. Speaker, if I may continue. The reason for the motion is to accommodate the minister and the opposition critics, some of whom were unable to be here on the previous dates for deferral of this vote. I may say that while this is not the first time it has been deferred-members of the public may be wondering why this is happening so often-it is to accommodate these people and I am seeking the unanimous consent of the House on that basis. However, if it is refused it is refused.
In the House of Commons on March 16th, 1994. See this statement in context.
