Mr. Speaker, I will consider the request of the Leader of the Opposition, but I make the point that the procedure selected for this type of debate was not to get up from one's seat and vote. The procedure was to give enough time for every member to speak.
We have until eight o'clock tomorrow morning to say if we are in agreement or not. It is not just to vote yes or no but to express our points of view. Everybody will be recorded. Somebody could just get up and say I agree and sit back.
I do not know why the Leader of the Opposition wants to change the rule that has worked very well so far. It gives everybody the right to get up and speak. I am just sad that he wants to formalize it in a different way. I am open to looking into that, but I thought that giving the freedom to speak to everybody would be much better than just standing up and sitting down.
