Before we resume debate, I get the sense, especially given the nature of the debate today, of the need for time for members to explain points in questions that they might pose to a speaker who has just presented. We are doing our best. In the five-minute period, it is very difficult to pose much more than two questions and receive their responses. If members make their interventions more concise, obviously more members can participate, but in all honesty and as the presiding officer, the last thing we want to do is cut people off.
We will be as judicious as we possibly can, but if members are able to be concise in their interventions, it would help their colleagues to have more opportunities to pose questions in the five-minute period.
Resuming debate, the hon. member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot.
