Spokespersons have three minutes on the Order of Business and all others contributors have two minutes. I am certainly going to be much stricter in this term with regard to people rambling on. If Members have an issue or want a long debate, they should submit a Commencement matter.It is not appropriate now. The whole purpose of the Order of Business is to ask a question and elicit an answer. It is not meant for long speeches or debates.
