I thank the hon. member for his intervention. This is the convention that we use. Other hon. members in the House, even if they may sit on the government side, have an opportunity too, as I indicated at the outset.
I will ask the clock to be stopped here momentarily.
The members of the opposition are certainly given priority in posing questions, but not to the exclusion of other or government members. That is the way we are going to conduct this 30-minute question period.
We will go now to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
