An Act To Give Effect To The Requirement For Clarity As Set Out In The Opinion Of The Supreme Court Of Canada In The Quebec Secession ReferenceGovernment Orders

March 3rd, 2000 / 1:30 p.m.

The Speaker

Order, please. It seems to me that, if one side wants to be heard, it should also listen to what the other side has to say. We should agree to at least be able to hear what is said in debate.

Once again, during the debate on Bill C-20, I would like to hear what is being said in debate, as I am sure the vast majority of members in the House do.

Today's debate is now over.

As it is 1.30 p.m., the House will now proceed to the consideration of Private Members' Business as listed on today's order paper.

See context to find out what was said next.
