When we have statements by ministers, the rules of the House set out that a member from the official opposition and a member from the Reform Party can intervene if they so desire.
However we have another rule that states whenever the House altogether wants to give unanimous consent to anything it can do so.
The hon. member for Churchill has approached the Chair and has asked me if he could intervene. If the House agrees I will give the floor to the member for Churchill.
Is there agreement for the hon. member for Churchill to address the House?
