Civil International Space Station Agreement Implementation Act November 2nd, 1999
Madam Speaker, I did not want to let the hon. member get away with suggesting that the Nisga'a treaty would be ratified by the House with only four hours of debate. We dealt with time allocation on second reading debate.
Would the member concede that we have completed second reading debate at this point and the matter is referred to committee? There are over 50 or 60 witnesses currently being considered for the committee hearings. That will involve undoubtedly many hours of consideration by members of parliament. It will come back to the House for report stage. I am sure there will be consideration of some amendments and there will be a third reading debate. It is very clear that we are not dealing with closure at this point.
If the member is suggesting that we will only debate the issue for four hours, I hope he will acknowledge to us that is incorrect and that we have many hours of debate still to go on the issue.
