(Bill read the second time and the House went into committee of the whole thereon, Mr. Joe Comartin in the chair)

[The Chair, NDP, Joe Comartin]

The House is now in committee of the whole on Bill C-39.

[Mathieu Ravignat, NDP, Pontiac, QC]

Mr. Chair, it is my suspicious pleasure, I might even say my persnickety pleasure, to ask the government whether the bill is presented in its usual form.

[Peter Van Loan, Conservative, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons]

Mr. Chair, this time, I can say that the format of the bill has changed. It has changed in such a way as to list the organizations in alphabetical order, as they are listed in the supplementary estimates. The change is a result of comments issued by the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates as part of its scrutiny of estimates and supply.
