Mr. Speaker, I know you have a great sense of justice. Therefore, since you gave my colleague permission to read the title of the document he wanted to submit to the unanimous consent of the House, you will surely allow me to read the title of the article I wanted to present to the House earlier.

The Speaker
We will do that tomorrow. The hon. member will have the opportunity to do so tomorrow. Members have the floor once, and that is enough.
