Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The Standing Orders state that the order of reference for the supplementary estimates will expire three days before the last designated allotted day in the period. Unfortunately, we don't know when the last allotted day in the period will be, because the government hasn't yet designated it. However, the government must designate it by December 10, which is Thursday of next week. Because of the three days before it is deemed reported back, it is more than likely that the order of reference will lapse sometime at the end of this week, or very early next week. That is one of the reasons the chair has decided to bring the question to you now.
Thank you.
