Mr. Speaker, as was mentioned by our colleague opposite, the member for York South-Weston, the intention is simply to avoid any confusion, as we have now taken the practice of applying votes. Private members' business, giving it the due respect it deserves in this House, we felt that we should first deal with the government bills and subsequently, simply to avoid confusion, we would deal with the private members' motions at the end of the process. There is nothing else.
In the House of Commons on November 5th, 1996. See this statement in context.
