Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Given the wording of the House order, I think you would ordinarily find consent in the House to see the clock as 5.30 p.m. when Private Members' Business would commence. However, we would not commence Private Members' Business until the member was here.
I would ask that we suspend to the call of the Chair. It would not be later than when the hon. member, who is prepared to proceed, enters the House.
Mr. Speaker, may I simply leave the matter in your hands? I suggest we see the clock as 5.30 p.m.
