Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As you know I was on the list to speak next on this subject. Unfortunately the Reform Party of Canada decided to deny me my right to speak on the matter by putting forward a motion in this House to delay the voting on this.
I am wondering if I could then get the consent of the House to allow me to put forward the views of my constituents. As you know, Madam Speaker, there are 1,200 farmers in my area who are in the tobacco industry and are affected every time a tobacco bill is brought forward in the House. I wonder if I could have that consent.
