The House is now in committee of the whole to consider all votes under Department of Justice in the main estimates for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. Today's debate is a general one on all votes under Department of Justice. The first round will begin with the official opposition, followed by the government, the Bloc Québécois and the New Democratic Party. After that, we will follow the usual proportional rotation. Each member will be allocated 15 minutes at a time. This time may be used for both debate and for posing questions. Members wishing to use this time to make a speech have a maximum of 10 minutes, which leaves at least five minutes for questions to the minister. When a member is recognized, he or she should indicate to the Chair how the 15-minute period will be used, in other words, how much time will be used for speeches and how much time will be used for questions and answers. Also, pursuant to order made earlier today, members who wish to share their time with one or more members shall indicate this to the Chair, and the Chair will receive no quorum calls, dilatory motions or requests for unanimous consent. When the time is to be used for questions and comments, the minister's response should approximately reflect the time taken by the question, since this time will count toward the time allocated to the member. Pursuant to order made earlier today, the time provided for the debate tonight may be extended beyond four hours, as needed, to include a minimum of 16 periods of 15 minutes each. I also wish to indicate that in committee of the whole, comments should be addressed to the Chair. I ask for everyone's co-operation in upholding all of the established standards of decorum, parliamentary language and behaviour. We will now begin tonight's session. The hon. member for Fundy Royal.

I thank the hon. member. There was one question where the hon. minister had gone over time and the Chair was giving indication, as all members saw me doing. I do want to indicate, though, that according to the rules, as I mentioned at the front end, and I will do this in a free translation, we do say that the time of answer of the minister should correspond roughly, à peu près, to the time that was put for the question. In most cases, the time came in under time. I can assure the hon. member that I have been keeping track of this. I will continue to do so, and I will endeavour to make sure that the members' times are entirely respected. The hon. minister has 15 minutes.
