Madam Temporary Speaker, I could maybe say this before I read my Statement. I hope the Senate Majority Leader can listen to this. We had sought money to upgrade the system. I am making this comment because of the breakdown we experienced.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, for today, I think let us be fair and reasonable. We cannot speak for more than three minutes if we need to transact on the business that is on the Order Paper.
