Mr. Speaker, I welcome the motion the government has brought forward. There has been consultation with all parties in the House. Recognition that we may have been sitting here all night without even being able to vote to reduce the estimates brought to the attention of all of us the need to review the standing orders with a view to finding reforms to make this process meaningful so that we can adequately represent Canadians in the whole process of reviewing the expenditures of the government.
In the House of Commons on June 7th, 1995. See this statement in context.
