Before we proceed, I point out to the House that the motion before us is about process. It is not about the substantive issue. The substantive issue is of inordinate importance. It has already been discussed and will hopefully be discussed again, but that is a matter for the House. The motion before us is on process so I must ask the Members to direct their attention to the subject matter of the motion, which is not about mineral extraction but, rather, is about the process that the House has adopted.
