I do not want to delay debate but I want to remind all members that it being Friday and under normal circumstances the debate will conclude at 1.30 p.m. I would therefore ask members who are participating that
their questions and answers be as brief as possible so that I might allow on your behalf as many of you to participate in the debate as possible.
The clock will start on the 10-minute question and comment period to the member for Comox-Alberni and I will recognize first the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry.
