The hon. member is a veteran parliamentarian and he has raised this point before. Once again, we try to measure it all out and we will try to see if over the days ahead we can balance things out so all parties have a chance to ask questions and to have them answered in the House.
I wish I could be optimistic and say that at all times all members keep to the rules and are very quiet. I am sure the hon. House leader of the New Democratic Party will know that from time to time—it does not occur often—there are lapses in all parties and I have to take that into consideration.
I will see what we can do to see to it that we get in the maximum number of questions in every question period. If there are any problems we will try to even it out by the end of the week, or surely by the end of a number of days. I undertake to do that.
