Mr. Speaker, research will show you, as it has shown me, that it is up to the government to define what is urgent under Standing Order 53. All of the arguments aside, from the House leader for the official opposition and the House leader for the New Democratic Party, it is not up to the opposition to decide what constitutes urgent under Standing Order 53. That has never been the way when this has been used.
Just for the viewing public at home, this is a Standing Order of the House. It is under the rules of the House and it is there to be used when necessary. We believe it is necessary and, upon review, I believe, Mr. Speaker, you will see that this order was adopted because the opposition did not have even 10 members in the House when you called the question.
