I would like to suggest to my colleague Jay that he canvass our liberal colleague as well as Yvon. Pursuant to the motion which has been adopted, the House will be sitting from 9 a.m. to 11 on that day. Question period will be from 11 to 12 and the House will resume from 12 to 3 p.m. Prime Minister Howard will be delivering a speech from 3 p.m. to approximately 4 p.m., and then the House will adjourn.
I would like to ask the government whip whether it would be wise to consider cancelling committee hearings on that day. The House will be sitting from 9 to 11, at 11 we will have question period and moreover, there will be committees sitting from 9 to 11. We may have some difficulty getting replaced, etc.
