Mr. Speaker, I thought there would be a debate at third reading. Is that also your understanding?

Pardon me, Mr. Speaker, but there has been a misunderstanding. I thought the government majority wanted to debate this bill, especially since we support this measure. I would like to speak to Bill C-3 if I may, Mr. Speaker.

The Speaker

Dear colleague, as I understand it and you must understand, we have already dealt with this bill, this motion. We are now debating Bill C-7. I believe you wanted to discuss Bill C-3. No member rose to speak. You may seek unanimous consent. Do you wish to do that?

Mr. Speaker, I simply want to say that I find it strange that the House is debating a bill at third reading and the government does not even bother to discuss its own piece of legislation. It was agreed that we would have one speaker from each side. If it is too late, then it is too late. However, this is a strange way of conducting the business of this House.
