Mr. Speaker, I beg your pardon, but you have just told the parliamentary secretary that he might finish his 10 minutes. He is not entitled to 10 minutes, because the Reform Party has already used up a certain number of minutes. All that he can use is what remains after the remarks by the Reform Party member.
Otherwise, provided a member announced his intentions in advance, he could book in advance all of the time reserved for a
party by indicating that the 10 minute period would be shared with a colleague, if he were the first speaker.
I believe that you should acknowledge everyone in turn, without going beyond 10 minutes.
