Before I go to questions and comments, I would remind members, as we are approaching the hour for Standing Order 31 statements and question period, that Standing Order 16(2) still applies. Members cannot cross between the Speaker and a member who is speaking, because it makes it quite difficult to see if the member speaking is done or not. Therefore, I invite members to pass on to other members that we are not supposed to be doing that in the chamber.
With questions and comments, the hon. member for Alfred–Pellan has the floor.
