I thank the hon. member for her submissions and for the request she sent on January 27. I have had ample time to consider the matter.
I recognize that there was certainly a crisis in respect to the bankruptcy she mentioned. I myself received much correspondence on the subject from constituents who expressed their concerns. However, I am not sure the situation that has occurred constitutes an emergency for the purposes of the Standing Order that deals with emergency debates. Accordingly, I am not going to allow the hon. member's request at this time for such a debate.
I now call on the hon. member for Toronto--Danforth who also submitted a request.
