Mr. Speaker, I understand that you want to take the matter under advisement, but you understand that I cannot deliver quite the same speech. I would not want this to encroach on the time allotted to me, especially since I see that you gave the member for Surrey Central more than 10 minutes. You warned him that he had only one minute left before he started reading his amendment. I do not wish to start a debate on this, but it would be essential to know your decision immediately because it is not the same speech.
I want you to know that I do not agree with the original motion that was put forward. However, I am in favour of the motion as amended, if you accept the amendment. You understand that I would not be able to deliver the same speech. A speech on a motion I disagree with is different than a speech on an amended motion that I do agree with. I would like to have your advice on this, Mr. Speaker.
