Pursuant to Standing Order 67.1, there will now be a 30-minute question period.
I invite hon. members who may wish to participate in asking questions to rise in their place so that the Chair has some measure of the number of members who wish to participate in the 30-minute question period.
We will ask hon. members to keep their interventions to about one minute, and similarly the minister responding to keep responses to approximately one minute. As members know, during this 30-minute question time, favour is generally given to opposition members, but certainly not to the exclusion of members who sit on the government side.
