Mr. Speaker, we are not sending ground troops. I think we found a very practical formula, as I have just explained to the Leader of the Opposition.
Rather than have a debate where only the leaders speak, followed by a recorded division, we decided to allow every member to speak. If the hon. member prefers to vote rather than speak, we will consider that. However, I thought that giving each member of Parliament the opportunity not only to vote but to say why they agree or disagree with the government was much more democratic than to hold a recorded division.
If you prefer this arrangement, we will consider it. However, as a parliamentarian, I prefer that members have the opportunity to speak without restriction until morning.
