I would like to remind the hon. parliamentary secretary that the Speaker is standing and that is a good time for him to sit.
It is my duty to interrupt the proceedings on the motion at this moment. Accordingly, the debate on the motion will be rescheduled for another sitting at which time there will still be 18 and a half minutes left for the hon. parliamentary secretary.
In reponse to the point of order raised by the hon. member for Outremont, I recognized the parliamentary secretary instead of the hon. member because it was his turn to speak.
It being 1:31 p.m., the House will now proceed to the consideration of private members' business as listed on today's order paper.
