I too object to the use of the guillotine in this case. It is impossible to gauge the extent of participation. It is unquestionably an important Bill, but business might very well be concluded within the time. The objection is that a guillotine is once more being applied. In the event that not all speakers have had a chance to participate, it rules out people in the queue. It is not acceptable, yet it has now become the practice since the resumption of this session. It is most objectionable, and I oppose the proposition.
