You had a point of order, Mr. Hoback?

Actually, I have a document I want to table, Chair. It's in both official languages, and I would ask my colleague to pass it out.

The Chair Conservative Larry Miller
He says it is in both official languages.
I have it. What is it in regard to? Oh, yes, I've seen this.

Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK
It's an article that Kevin Hursh put out. He's used data from Alberta agriculture that talks about the changes in the price of fertilizer over this last year. I think it would be timely and good for our report that we table this document as evidence, since we're doing a report on competitiveness.
Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion to move forward and actually deal now with the motion that Mr. Atamanenko has on the honey bees, recognizing the honey producers.

The Chair Conservative Larry Miller
I think we'd probably need the motion read back just to refresh our memories. I know I did have a copy of it here somewhere.

He's moving a motion to pull Mr. Atamanenko's motion back onto the table.

It's a question. Mr. Hoback wanted this tabled with the report? I didn't quite understand what--

The Chair Conservative Larry Miller
Yes, he was tabling that report, and then he just moved the motion in regard to the motion tabled by Mr. Atamanenko.

Conservative
Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK
The motion, Mr. Chair, if you don't mind me reading it, is as follows:
That the Committee recommend that the government follow in the footsteps of the Province of Saskatchewan and the over 40 Municipalities across Canada that have issued proclamations declaring May 29, 2010 as the Day of the Honey Bee by proclaiming May 29, 2010 as the National Day of the Honey Bee and that this be reported to the House.

Can one member present another member's motion? Let us get things out in the open here; all I see is people using up all the time in order to stop me discussing my motion.
Cattle producers in Quebec and elsewhere will hear about all this.
4:20 p.m.
Bloc
André Bellavance Bloc Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Yes, I am talking about what Mr. Hoback and the Conservatives are trying to do: nothing less than preventing my motion from passing. I hope they know that this will not make my Christmas any less merry, except for knowing that cattle producers want us to ask the government to help them. Mr. Hoback can talk about honey bees if he likes, I am fine with that, but my question is still about whether one member can present another member's motion.
