As hon. colleagues can see we have gone a few minutes over the time limit. I would ask all hon. colleagues in question periods to follow if perhaps they could make the introduction of a question a little shorter and with all respect if they could perhaps see that the answers are a little more concise.
The reason I am mentioning this is to ensure that both sides have a chance to put questions and to have answers to the questions. It is a request I hope hon. members will consider and keep in mind in future question periods.
