Order, please. I hesitate to interrupt at any time, but particularly during the period of questions and comments. When I called the question and comment period, I noted that a number of members wanted to ask questions of or make comments to the member for Winnipeg South.
This is the period that permits an exchange of viewpoints between members from both sides of the House. In noting the number of members wishing to debate the hon. member for Winnipeg South, I would ask the hon. member to ask his question and conclude his remarks so that I may give the same opportunity to others who have indicated their desire to speak. I hope you will trust in my being as reasonable and fair all the time.
