Mr. Speaker, this does not happen very often, but we are talking about a bill to which all of the parties are in agreement. We did not make any changes in committee, yet we are spending five hours tonight discussing something with which we are all in agreement.
I am having a bout of déjà vu because I think I heard exactly this speech earlier today from the member for Crowfoot. It seemed almost identical to the one the member for Crowfoot gave.
The five hours tonight cost $50,000 an hour in overtime, in one day, which could help us hire 80 summer students.
Let us use the money intelligently and debate the real issues and move on to Bill C-56, which is next on the agenda.
