Perhaps we can lower the temperature here a bit if we read the relevant standing order. It is Standing Order 53(1). If members will give me a second, I will consult with the Clerk to make sure that what we are doing here is absolutely kosher.
The relevant standing order is found at page 30 of the standing orders dated February 1, 1999. Standing Order 53(1) states:
In relation to any matter that the government considers to be of an urgent nature, a Minister of the Crown may, at any time when the Speaker is in the Chair—
And the Speaker is any of the chair occupants:
—propose a motion to suspend any Standing or other Order of this House relating to the need for notice and to the hours and days of sitting.
It goes on, but the government House leader is entirely within the purview of the standing orders of the House of Commons.
A motion has been proposed on a matter of urgent nature by the government House leader pursuant to Standing Order 53(1). If we go further into the standing orders, and if members would bear with me I would appreciate it because this is the first time this has happened to me as well, the Speaker has the option to provide for up to one hour of debate.
The time provided to debate the motion will be up to one hour. It is the purview of the Speaker to determine how it will be done. It would seem to be appropriate that it would be done by party at 10 minutes each.
Unless someone else can give me a reason that we do it some other way that would be better, that is what we will do.
