Madam Speaker, ignoring the reality of where we are today does not do justice to many of the comments that members have put on the record.
There have been numerous hours of discussion and debate. There is an extension of sitting hours in order to accommodate more debate. I have now sat through debates that have collapsed, even within the five-hour allotment. There is exaggeration. Yes, there are some topics that it would have been nice to have more debate on, but equally, there have been topics on which there has been an excessive amount of debate.
I am wondering if my colleague could provide his thoughts on that.
