Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. In order to enable us to conclude some government business, I would ask that you seek consent not to see 11 o'clock for five minutes or so, to permit us to pass a certain number of motions and things I think the House would agreed to do. I would ask that you delay question period by five minutes.

At this time of the year my eyesight does get a little bad. Is there agreement to proceed in such a fashion?
The House resumed from June 10 consideration of the motion in relation to the amendments made by the Senate to Bill C-49, an act providing for the ratification and the bringing into effect of the Framework Agreement on First Nations Land Management.
Mike Scott Reform Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, I will conclude my remarks from yesterday because I did not get a chance to finish then.
I find it rather reprehensible that the government would not see fit to try to pass a motion for emergency debate on a number of very serious issues like grain handling and other matters which we thought to be of an urgent nature.
However, government members saw fit last night to try to pass a motion to start an emergency debate because they wanted to go home eight days early. I find that very unacceptable.
