I am sorry the member does not agree with the Chair's ruling, but it is not customary to explain why a request for an emergency debate is being denied.
I wish to remind the member that today we are having the debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, which will continue later this week. It is a general debate. We will also have, as the member well knows, seven allotted days between now and December, and his party will be free to raise this issue during one of those opposition days. I am sure the member can convince his colleagues to have such a debate on one of those days.
