I feel compelled to remind members of standing order 33(a), and I’ll read it to you:

“Members’ Statements

“Length

“33(a) A member, other than a leader of a recognized party in the House or a minister of the crown, may be recognized to make a statement for not more than one and a half minutes”—one and a half minutes is 90 seconds.

I’m not singling out any one member or any party, it’s just that we’ve gotten to the point where the members’ statements are considerably longer and I’m going to have to start enforcing that standing order, if need be. I hesitate to interrupt members mid-thought or mid-sentence, but I think we have to rein that in. I just want to inform the members of that fact. Thank you.

Minister of Health.
