Before we carry on, in terms of the format here, I would just like to mention that during the question and comment period of the 15 minute time period, questions would typically be directed to a minister or a parliamentary secretary. We just had an occasion where the opposite happened. Typically, of course, it is the member's 15 minutes. As the member indicated, he was going to take up to 10 minutes for his remarks followed by 5 minutes for questions and comments, at which point the member would typically then put a question to a parliamentary secretary or a minister in this format.
We will carry on with questions and comments. Members can pose questions to a minister or a parliamentary secretary.
I see the hon. member for Whitby standing.
