There has been an installation of lights high in the ceiling on one side, in the hope of being able to relieve the severity of the lighting that is placed lower down. This is experimental only. I should not, I suppose, add that the technicians hope the experiment will last more than one day. In any case, the experiment is there and the technicians have asked me and our colleagues in the House to evaluate this

Mr. Speaker:

Order, please. 1 declare the amendment carried.

Prime Minister (Mr. Clark) wishes to gain the floor for the purpose of making a brief comment to the House.
