It certainly would be if the hon. member for Joliette was introducing a private member's bill, but he is not. He is speaking to a motion.
I would mention that when members come into the House they should turn off their cellphones when they enter the Chamber. Cellphones are not to be used in the Chamber, which includes behind the curtains.
We are not dealing with private members' bills, we are debating a motion. The hon. member for Joliette has 20 minutes for debate and then there will be a 10 minute question and comment period. Then the opportunity for debate and response will go to the government side.
