Mr. Speaker, I respect your kind words and your decision. However, I point out that it was the hon. government House leader who made that offer. I would suggest that this party would be in favour of that but with a minor amendment, that we have a vote at the end of the evening. I think our colleagues would agree to that right here without waiting for you to make a further decision.
In the House of Commons on April 14th, 1999. See this statement in context.
