Mr. Speaker, I wish to inform the House that an agreement has been reached pursuant to Standing Order 78(2) with regard to an allocation of time for the report stage and the third reading stage of Bill C-33.

Therefore I move:

Reform

Jim Hart Reform Okanagan—Similkameen—Merritt, BC

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This afternoon I was engaged in committee. The government has throughout this session of Parliament stressed the importance of committee work. I also find it very important to be here for a vote, although the loyal and Official Opposition and also the government have decided that they would take this away from me, my privilege to vote on this issue.

The point the member was making was a question for debate. On a point of order, the hon. member for Elk Island.

Reform

Ken Epp Reform Elk Island, AB

Mr. Speaker, mine is truly a point of order.

Standing Order 78 says explicitly that there is agreement among the representatives of all parties.

I submit that this action is not correct because we are still a party notwithstanding what is thought here and therefore this motion is not appropriate.

6:50 p.m.

The Deputy Speaker

The hon. member is quite right in referring to Standing Order 78(1). That is where all the parties agree, as he has just indicated. What he will have to look at is Standing Order 78(2)( a ) where it is a majority of the parties that have agreed.

I thank the member for raising the point because it gives me an opportunity to say that this motion has also been considered carefully. It is a valid motion under Standing Order 78(2). Accordingly the members will vote on that motion.

Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

Reform

Jim Silye Reform Calgary Centre, AB

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Does the government have to give a reason to limit debate for an hour or can it just do it?
