I appreciate the assistance of the House leader of the official opposition. We are under a time limit, as hon. members know, with respect to the committee of the whole and there are some other members who have given notice to the Chair that they would like to ask some questions of the minister.
Might I suggest we move on to questions? The hon. member for New Brunswick Southwest of course will have the opportunity to make a 20 minute speech, at the very least, on third reading later this day. Perhaps we can deal with the bill. Is that agreeable to the committee?
