Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member across for this excellent question. At the same time, I want to thank hon. members on both sides of the House for their co-operation in dealing with legislation so far this week.
The real and serious work of this Chamber does not seem to sometimes excite much the people in the media, but I want to take this opportunity to point out that since my business statement last week, members of all parties have moved forward six important pieces of legislation. I hope for similar co-operation in the future.
This afternoon we will continue Bill C-25, the defence reorganization bill.
On Monday the first item will be Bill C-28, a bill to augment the Canada health and social transfer. We are looking forward to support on this. This will be followed by Bill C-12, the RCMP superannuation bill; Bill S-3 respecting pension benefit standards, and Bill C-25 if not completed today.
On Tuesday and if necessary on Wednesday we shall debate the budget implementation bill that was introduced this morning. We would then return to any leftover bills from Monday, followed by Bill S-4, the marine bill.
That is the weekly business statement. For the convenience of all hon. members, I would like to indicate the plans of the House for a little bit further. I hope to be able to announce a schedule in the future that will include among other things Bill C-27, the coastal fisheries bill, Bill C-26, the grain bill, the Judges Act amendments introduced this morning, as well as Bill C-3 and Bill S-5 if the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights reports them in time.
