No. I will say this once and it reflects on the whole business of the week. On Thursday of last week, the debate on the budget was cut short because of other business and I have no objection to that. I note there is a considerable amount of business this week. Many Members from this side of the House and from the other larger party on the other side have not had an opportunity to contribute because the time was cut short. I respectfully request that the Business Committee reconvene to reinstate the time lost or an appropriate amount of time to allow the conclusion of the budget debate.
