Mr. Speaker, I would like some clarification. Are you asking for the debate to continue after 5.30 p.m.? If the NDP members want to use the time provided and speak from 5 p.m. to 5.15 p.m. and you assure me that the debate will end at 5.30 p.m., I agree. I, however, would not want us to continue after 5.30 p.m. The NDP members had the whole day to take part in today's debate. But if you assure me that the debate will end at 5.30 p.m., I agree.
In the House of Commons on February 4th, 1999. See this statement in context.
