This is the report stage of the bill. It is for the purpose of discussing amendments to the legislation. If the hon. member wishes to debate the bill he can do so on third reading, but at report stage we do proceed with speeches of 10 minutes duration on groups of amendments. We are now on Group No. 1. I understand the amendment proposed by the parliamentary secretary will not be included in Group No. 1 so we are safe to start on that if the House is ready. We will be debating Motions Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 12.
In the House of Commons on December 3rd, 1997. See this statement in context.
