Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There have been some discussions among the parties. By agreement, we would ask that we extend the debate for no more than 15 minutes.
One of our colleagues from the opposite side is making every effort to arrive in the next few moments to participate in the debate for approximately 10 minutes. Perhaps we could extend the question and comment period by five minutes so that hopefully the member will arrive. We will conclude no later than 1.45 p.m.
