The Acting Speaker (Mr. McClelland)
As a matter of fact during Routine Proceedings today the hon. member for Edmonton-Strathcona was on his feet. I did not see him during the tabling of reports from committees. We asked for unanimous consent at that time to revert to presenting reports from committees to give him a minute to present the report and we did not obtain it.
We will ask for it again. Will the House give unanimous consent to the member for Edmonton—Strathcona for one minute to present his minority report?

Mr. Speaker, the official opposition felt that it was important to include a minority report with the committee's report this morning because we feel that the committee report lacks balance. The recommendations that were made would unfortunately divide stakeholders rather than bring collaboration between groups.
The Canadian Alliance simply could not support the tone and overall direction of the report that failed to recognize the tremendous gains which manufacturers and user groups of pesticides have been making for years, and to make human health and especially safety top priorities. Stakeholders in particular, manufacturers, agricultural producers—

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The House gave its unanimous consent for the member to present his report, not to speak to it.

When the report is presented and tabled, the opposition always has the opportunity to make a brief intervention, and that is what is being done.

Mr. Speaker, I was on my last statement. Stakeholders in particular, manufacturers, agricultural producers and other user groups have been taking extraordinary measures to promote a safe, transparent and effective regulatory system in a co-operative way with the PMRA, and this has been largely ignored in the committee report.
The House resumed consideration of the motion that Bill C-25, an act to amend the Income Tax Act, the Excise Tax Act and the Budget Implementation Act, 1999, be read the second time and referred to a committee, of the amendment, and of the amendment to the amendment.
