Mr. Speaker, I am very sorry that the Reform Party has decided to waste the time of this House with a debate on a motion for concurrence in a committee report.
It is a real waste of time, since a bill to continue the Federal Business Development Bank under the name of Business Development Bank of Canada is already listed in the Order Paper . We may pass this bill this afternoon without wasting the time of the House, as was the case this morning.
I am sorry the Reform Party feels it has to take up time debating a report that was tabled in this House last October when there are bills waiting to be passed that could deal with the issue.
To avoid any further waste of the House's time and cost to the Canadian taxpayers, I move:
That the House do now proceed to Orders of the Day.
