Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the House time is from 2.30 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. Members must be here. If you watch the House of Commons, there are times they are only five Members but because the Insurance Bill is important and we are only left with 10 minutes, I want to indulge the Chair that we either move it tomorrow morning when the House is full or tomorrow afternoon. This is a Bill that belongs to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and he can comment on it.
