Questions On The Order Paper February 9th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I would ask that all questions be allowed to stand.
West Coast Ports Operations Act, 1994 February 8th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, not to presume on the goodwill of the House, but on the Order Paper is Motion No. 5 standing under government business.
It was the original reform motion and was superseded by a new one that was moved and carried with the indulgence of the House yesterday. The old motion is still on the Notice Paper. It requires the unanimous consent of the House to withdraw the motion standing in the name of the hon. government House leader. Since we have no intention of proceeding with it, to save printing costs and so on, I wonder if the House would give its consent to withdrawing government Motion No. 5.
West Coast Ports Operations Act, 1994 February 8th, 1994
I move:
That at the conclusion of the deferred divisions this day on government business No. 4, the sitting be suspended to the call of the Chair, and that when the sitting is resumed the sole business to be transacted shall be to attend at a royal assent; that when the House returns from the royal assent it shall adjourn forthwith until tomorrow at two o'clock p.m.
(Motion agreed to.)

Mr. Speaker, I think you will find there is unanimous consent of the House to dispose of third reading of Bill C-10 before the bells start ringing at 5.45 p.m.
If that is the case, before the bells start to ring I have another motion to propose to the House dealing with the royal assent. But I would ask if there is unanimous consent to proceed with third reading at this time.
West Coast Ports Operations Act, 1994 February 8th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I have a motion that needs to be put before the bells ring at 5.45 p.m. I think you will find there is unanimous consent of the House for this motion:
That notwithstanding the special order of February 2, 1994, the Speaker shall not interrupt proceedings and put the question on second reading of Bill C-3 at 15 minutes before the ordinary time for consideration of government business on this day but shall do so tomorrow, Wednesday, February 9, at no later than the ordinary hour of daily adjournment.
The purpose of the motion is to defer the division on Bill C-3 so that members whose speeches were interrupted this afternoon by this special debate will be able to make them tomorrow.
(Motion agreed to.)
West Coast Ports Operations Act, 1994 February 8th, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I suggested to the House, and I thought we had agreed, that the motion for second reading we would propose to the House would be for second reading and referral to committee of the whole instead of to a Standing Committee of the House. That is all. There will be a debate on second reading: first the minister, then the opposition, the Reform Party, and perhaps a few other members, and after the motion for second reading is passed, the bill would be referred to a committee of the whole, according to the motion. That is all. And perhaps afterwards we can have unanimous consent for other business, but not now.
