Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech and for putting this together. He has obviously thought it through. I appreciate him going over how in some ways the current rules could be abused. He is a thoughtful guy, and I am sure he has thought about the other side. Has he considered any ways this change in procedure could potentially be abused, and if so, has he thought about ways to mitigate that, or are there no ways in which this could be abused?

Mr. Speaker, I know the hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona certainly brings a lot of knowledge on questions of procedure. My issue with the motion is largely one of the process that the member has chosen. Many aspects of his motion are seemingly novel, in terms of what he is proposing. I am curious as to why he chose this route of two hours of debate rather than inserting a clause into the motion to refer this to the procedure and House affairs committee for a more thorough study.
