Mr. Speaker, this afternoon we will continue with second reading of Bill C-85 on MP pensions.
When this is completed we will return to third reading of Bill C-43 on lobbyists, followed by report stage and third reading of Bill C-67 respecting veterans, second reading of Bill C-70 concerning income tax, and report stage and third reading of Bill C-54 regarding old age security, the Canada pension plan and related matters.
Friday we will resume at the point where we left off today. On Monday the House will not sit until two o'clock in the afternoon to enable members to attend services commemorating the end of the European part of the second world war.
In the afternoon after question period and on the following days we will resume business where the House left off Friday. This will be followed by second reading of Bill C-88 regarding internal trade, Bill C-87 regarding chemical weapons, Bill C-86 regarding the Dairy Commission and Bill C-82 regarding the Mint.
The Minister of Transport intends to introduce a bill tomorrow concerning the CNR. It is the intention of the government to propose that the bill be referred to committee before second reading, using one of the new procedures adopted by the House last year.
It is my hope we can deal with that motion early next week. I would also like to find the time to deal with report stage of Bill C-41 regarding sentencing. Finally, next Thursday shall be an allotted day.
