Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations earlier today regarding the debate under Standing Order 52. However I have not circulated the motion because events have been evolving quite quickly. I invite other House leaders to follow attentively to ensure we are doing exactly what was agreed to. I seek unanimous consent to move the following motion. I move:
That, notwithstanding any Standing Order, Special Order or usual practice, during the present sitting:
The debate ordered for this day, pursuant to Standing Order 52, shall commence immediately and, when no Member rises to speak thereon, or after three hours, whichever is earlier, the House shall adjourn to the next sitting day, and that the debate take place in committee of the whole provided that the Speaker may act as chair from time to time;
The first representative from each party may speak for no more than ten minutes, with a five minute question and comment period, and no subsequent member may speak for more than ten minutes;
The Chair shall not receive any dilatory motions, quorum calls or requests for unanimous consent;
When no member wishes to speak or after three hours, whichever is earlier, the committee shall rise and the House shall adjourn.
