The Chair has recognized the point, but I do not think it is usual to have one minute of silence during a speech. The point of a speech in the House is to express an opinion.
If the hon. member wishes to stop speaking for ten minutes or one minute or even 30 seconds during the time allotted him to speak, he may do so with the unanimous consent of the House, but I think one would normally make a speech in the time allotted. That is why I have indicated to the hon. member that, if he wishes to resume speaking, he may now do so.
I invite him to go ahead, or I can seek the unanimous consent of the House for the hon. member to observe a moment of silence.
Is that agreed?
