Pursuant to Standing Order 67.1, there will now be a 30‑minute question period.
Members will recall that the preference for questions during the 30 minutes is provided to the opposition, but not to the exclusion of some members on the government's side. Members should keep their interventions brief and they may speak more than once.
I now invite hon. members who wish to ask questions to rise or use the “raise hand” function so the Chair has some idea of how many members would like to participate.
The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands is rising on a point of order.
