The hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona is correct when he says that the motion before the House is Government Business Motion No. 8. What we are dealing with is a bill in the name of the Minister of Finance entitled “An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act”. Subsequently, there are significant references from a procedural point of view in terms of how that will be dealt with.
As you know, it is common practice for the Chair to give great latitude to members of the House. At times the Chair does remind members to stay between the ditches in terms of staying on track even when they have unlimited time, so I would encourage the hon. parliamentary secretary to accept this advice and to resume with his remarks.
