You had five minutes, maximum.
Following that statement, the list of candidates is revised.
Pursuant to Standing Order 3.1, the House must proceed to the speeches from each candidate for the office of the Speaker.
Notwithstanding any Standing Order or any procedure and practice adopted by this House, and to help the newly elected members identify the candidates for the office of Speaker, I will recognize in alphabetical order each candidate by name and by electoral district.
When the last candidate to address the House completes his speech, I will leave the chair for one hour, after which members will proceed to the election of the Speaker.
I will now call upon Mr. Dean Allison, the hon. member for Niagara West—Glanbrook, to address the House for not more than five minutes.
