Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. I appreciate your explanation, but I still maintain that a time honoured tradition is at stake here. It is questionable how one would be able to determine positions on this issue until individuals have spoken.
In the interests of private members' business we have at least allowed a member from every party to speak and express a viewpoint. I would ask again that if 10 minutes is too much, you would seek unanimous consent to allow 5 minutes for my speech.
