There may be some confusion on the difference between a take note debate and an emergency debate. Standing Order 43(1)(b) states:
Following any speech by the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, a Minister moving a government order, or the Member speaking in reply immediately after such Minister, and following any twenty-minute speech, a period not exceeding ten minutes shall be made available, if required, to allow Members to ask questions and comment briefly on matters relevant to the speech and to allow responses thereto.
Regarding an emergency debate, Standing Order 52(13) states:
No Member shall speak longer than twenty minutes during debate on any such motion,--
--referring to emergency debates--
--provided that a Member may indicate to the Speaker that he or she will be dividing his or her time with another Member.
Therefore, members can divide their time and I believe there can be questions and comments, unlike a take note debate. We can proceed that way.
We will resume questions and comments with the hon. member for Edmonton—Sherwood Park.
