Before we go to the next speaker I want to clarify a couple of items.
As we have done in the past, during the time provided for questions and comments if there seems to be a number of members who wish to ask a question, I will identify at least three initially if there is a five minute period so people will know whether or not they are going to be called. If that is the case, then it is obvious that questions and comments will have to be kept at around 60 seconds. We have done it that way for the last year or so. We will continue to do it that way.
I also want to clarify that in this first round it was one 30 minute slot to the official opposition, it being a supply day motion, and then 10 minutes with a five minute question and comment for each of the recognized parties. I was in error in saying that the hon. member was splitting his time. It was 10 minutes to start with.
