Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, there was an agreement that the debate would go until 10:30 p.m. It is a very important subject. The member for Sault Ste. Marie has risen and is asking to speak for about 10 minutes. I do not think that is an unreasonable request, so we would ask the members of the House to allow the member to rise to speak.
The fact that we have approved the motion was great and we thank the members of the House for agreeing to that, but it does not end the debate. We would ask the Speaker to allow the debate to go until 10:30 p.m., as was agreed to by all members, so that we can conclude this in the proper time.
