Mr. Speaker, I concur with the statement on the statistics. But I see the minister is here now and we can no longer say the minister has not been here for one second. He has been here now for six. It is great to see him.
I think it is very important when we have a debate such as this that we hear each other. It is not sufficient to simply schedule time until 4 o'clock in the morning to make speeches. We must also have people here hearing the arguments and who are open to change because of those arguments.
