Mr. Speaker, time is very short and I want to offer my apologies to the hon. member for Halifax West for this interruption.
There have been discussions among all parties in the chamber and I think if you were to seek it you would find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move:
That, notwithstanding the Standing Orders or usual practices of this House,
the House revert to “Presenting Reports from Committees” for the sole purpose of reporting back from committee, Bill C-29, An Act to increase the availability of agricultural loans and to repeal the Farm Improvement Loans Act and Bill S-2, An Act to amend the Customs Act; and
when Bill C-29 is reported back, it be deemed concurred in at report stage and deemed read a third time and passed; and
during the debate on May 28, 2009, on the Business of Supply pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), no quorum calls, dilatory motions or requests for unanimous consent shall be received by the Chair and, within each 15-minute period, each party may allocate time to one or more of its members for speeches or for questions and answers, provided that, in the case of questions and answers, the minister's answer approximately reflect the time taken by the question, and provided that, in the case of speeches, members of the party to which the period is allocated may speak one after the other.
