Mr. Speaker, just a point of clarification for the Chair. Through you to the hon. member for York South—Weston, we are following what we did with the previous bill, Bill C-44. We are moving it from first reading right to committee stage. The exact same bill, Bill C-9, is undergoing the same procedure as did the original bill. The opportunity will be for members of the House to do their work in committee as quickly as possible.

Mr. Speaker, there is an established procedure in this House that a bill be given second reading before it is referred to a committee. Before we invoke this special power to refer a bill to a committee before second reading, there ought to be extenuating circumstances why the bill ought to be expedited.
I would like to understand from the government what the extenuating circumstances are in order to have this bill expedited.

The Speaker
Technically speaking, the debate on this particular motion is over. When the hon. member brought up his point, I thought we would expedite matters by getting a point of clarification. I do not believe that we should be going back and forth any more in this debate. I put it to the hon. member for York South—Weston, does he wish to vote at this particular time on this particular motion?
