Before giving the member for Forrest the call, I remind members—because it seems to have escaped the attention of some—that I indicated last year that I would be reverting to using the one-hour measure which was put in place. When it was put in place, it was to be used without warning. Having had a discussion with members, I indicate that from time to time I may have confused them by the way I have used that standing order. But I have assured those who have had the decency to properly discuss this with me that it is my intention that on occasions I will use that provision without warning.
