The Chair thanks the hon. member for Cumberland—Colchester for the arguments he has put forward in advance of this case.
I point out that one item that he left out of his list of considerations that might make the matter urgent is the possibility for other debates in the House on the same subject.
I note that today a report was tabled in the House dealing with this very matter. A motion for concurrence in that committee report could be moved at the next sitting or two of the House, but very shortly. In my view that would provide ample opportunity for a debate on the very subject that the hon. member is seeking to have raised by way of an emergency debate.
Accordingly, I do not find that his request meets the exigencies of the standing order at this time.
