Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I do feel rather sorry for you this afternoon, that you are being required to read these motions in their entirety. However, I would like to say to you, perhaps as an apology, that we were approached by the government side to give you unanimous consent to waive having to read all these motions. However, we asked if the government would ensure and guarantee that time allocation would not be introduced, which it did not. Then we unfortunately had to deny the unanimous consent. Therefore, Mr. Speaker-

Mr. Speaker, again I do apologize and I do feel rather sorry for your plight but, as I said, we would be glad to give unanimous consent to the government in order for you to be saved from having to read these into the record. However, we do ask in return that the government assures us that time allocation will not be-

Mr. Speaker, I want to say to the hon. member opposite that we did suggest that we might dispense with the need to have the Speaker read all the amendments that he is now having to read as a result of their declining the opportunity for unanimous consent. The hon. whip for the official opposition did agree in discussions earlier but we did not have House agreement. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, you will have to read. I apologize as well.
