The Deputy Speaker

I know this will not meet the satisfaction of the House on either side but my instincts tell me that the former hon. member for Windsor West, of course, when his name appeared as the seconder for budgetary Motion No. 10 was a member. However that being said, given the seriousness of the question, I would like to suspend the House momentarily to reflect on the matter to be sure that in fact I give the correct ruling to the House.

(The sitting of the House was suspended at 6.18 p.m.)

(The House resumed at 6.21 p.m.)
