Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. Unless I am mistaken, Standing Order 43 relating to the process of debate states that the first person speaking for the government—if he is the Prime Minister—the Leader of the Opposition, a minister moving a government order, and the member speaking in reply immediately after such a minister have no time limit.
As far as I can tell, the hon. member across the floor is not the Prime Minister, nor the Leader of the Opposition nor the minister proposing the motion, nor the member speaking in reply immediately after the minister, and thus ought not to be exempt from a time limit. He should have 20 minutes like the rest of us.
