Mr. Speaker, I believe I heard my colleague from the NDP move to seek unanimous consent, which was granted. It was that immediately following the vote, we would go right into Statements by Members and that the time provided would not be affected by the length of time that the vote took.
I think anything that has happened between that motion being adopted and statements starting should be null. We should go right into statements, have the full 15 minutes for statements, and then go on to question period.
That is my understanding of what the motion would have prescribed and what the House just agreed with.

I thank the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle for raising that issue. It seems that there might have been a delay in terms of how that motion should have been presented.
The original intention of the motion, of course, was to bring forward the ways and means bill. It should have been presented after the Chair had read out that the bill would be read the first time and printed. After moving on, that motion should have come forward.
Nothing has changed in terms of the intention of the motion and in terms of making sure that we are following the procedures of the House.
I thank the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle for his understanding in this matter.

Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday in this chamber, the leader of the official opposition recklessly labelled a car explosion in the U.S. near the Rainbow Bridge as a “terrorist attack”. The Conservative leader's characterization of the event shocked many Canadians, including me. I was terrified and instantly prayed to God hoping that no Muslim was involved in this incident.
Jumping to such baseless and emotive language without verification and spreading misinformation demonstrate a serious lack of judgment, especially at a time when the conflict in the Middle East has led to an increase in Islamophobia and anti-Semitism—
