Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to make the business statement to the House and to respond to the opposition House leader.
Today, Friday and up until 4.30 p.m. next Tuesday we will hopefully move through a substantial list of legislation. The bills are as follows: Bill S-4, the marine liability bill; Bill C-29, the Canada Labour Code amendments; Bill C-20, the Competition Act; Bill C-8, the Yukon gas bill; Bill C-6, the Mackenzie Valley bill; and Bill C-12, the RCMP superannuation bill.
I wish to designate Monday as an allotted day. The budget will take place on Tuesday at 4.30 p.m. The budget debate will begin on Wednesday, will proceed on Thursday and we will have the first vote at 5.30 p.m. next Thursday.
The House, pursuant to unanimous agreement made at an earlier time, will not sit on Friday, February 27.
