I again thank the member. We will try to resolve this problem. We can do another sound check this evening to ensure that everything is working properly. I am not going to allow the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader to back up and start again, but he could perhaps pick up from the last sentence.

That is debate. I know that maybe some members have not been here for a while, but we have a 10-minute speech and then questions and answers afterward, so there is an opportunity for members to exchange thoughts and comments then.

If we are going to table something, we should have it with us, and of course we need to have consent to do that. I am hearing lots of chatter in the chamber, so I ask that we try to keep it down and have our debate as we normally do. Continuing with questions and comments, the hon. member for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia has the floor.
