Once again, I would like to thank all hon. members for being considerate and keeping their debate time to a minimum so as to allow as many members as possible to debate.
It being 6.15 p.m., pursuant to order made earlier today, it is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of the second reading stage of the bill now before the House.
The question is on the amendment. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the amendment?
