Mr. Speaker, I do not want to be negotiating across the floor and taking up the time of the House, but following the intervention of the member for Elk Island the government side would be agreeable to allowing the House leader of the Canadian Alliance Party a 10 minute intervention after the 10 minute intervention by the member for Beauharnois—Salaberry.
Following further discussions we have an even more generous offer to put to the House. If the House would give its consent, we would go back to the second reading of Bill C-19 to allow other members to contribute to this debate. Then we will deal with the matter after the debate has been concluded.
