When the hon. member for Elk Island stood the first time, as I recall and we can check the blues, the hon. government House leader made the point of why it was an urgent matter and then went into it. We can check blues. I know the hon. member for Elk Island is a student of House procedure. We recognize that.
It is the opinion of the clerk that this is being done strictly according to the standing orders of the House of Commons. Therefore the Chair accepts it and recognizes the member for Elk Island on debate.
