Mr. Speaker, as the Chair and all hon. members will know, some time ago informal discussions were held among whips-I know it was a different whip for the Reform Party then-toward arriving at an informal system of accelerating the voting procedure, thereby saving considerable overtime and taxpayers' dollars for votes that would have traditionally taken sometimes seven or eight hours in the evening. They can now be collapsed into a few minutes.
I hate to interrupt this private conversation, Mr. Speaker.
