Mr. Speaker, I sympathize enormously with the position the minister finds himself in. I was very uncomfortable moments ago in the ethics committee with how rudely he was being treated. It is inappropriate. However, for all of us in this place to operate with decorum and with respect for one another, this kind of motion on time allocation will do real damage to this place, not just today, not just tomorrow, but in the coming years, when we will find this used more and more to whip committees into shape. I ask the minister to think again and step back.
