Madam Speaker, I have to confirm that the House will not sit tomorrow and will not sit next week. In fact it will resume on May 24. The work that hon. members do-and I am sure they have work to do-will have to be done outside the Chamber during that period.
On May 24 and May 25 the House will begin work on Bill C-28 regarding student loans followed by Bill C-27, the income tax technical legislation. If there is time we will also call Bill C-26, to amend the National Library Act.
Pursuant to special order on May 26 the House will consider report stage of Bill C-17, the budget implementation legislation.
After the House leaders meet again the week we are back, we will have further information for them and for the House.
