Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I do not want to further aggravate the House with respect to this issue. It was very obvious and should have been obvious to everyone, including the House leader for the official opposition. When matters such as this debate were discussed, a blind man on a galloping horse could have seen that this issue was going to arise today.
For there to be any suggestion by members of the Reform Party that they did not realize that this debate was going to be extended, it was discussed openly at the House leaders meeting yesterday and this is just misleading the House.
