Mr Speaker, on your indulgence, I would like to update the House. For the benefit of members on both sides of the House and parliamentary and political staff, it is the intention of the government to have the debate that was interrupted earlier today completed at or before six o’clock with the cooperation that we have received—and I will put on record that we have received it from both sides of the House. There will be an MPI debate; it might be truncated. That is a decision for the opposition to make. I thank both sides of the House and everyone for their cooperation.
