Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think you might find unanimous consent in the House to read the clock as 5.30 p.m. so we could proceed to Private Members' Business, provided that the member proposing the private members' bill tonight is present in the chamber. If he is not present, may I suggest that we suspend to the call of the Chair but to no later than 5.30 p.m., in order that the member wishing to present the motion can do so at an earlier time than 5.30 p.m.
In the House of Commons on June 4th, 1998. See this statement in context.
