Before we resume the debate I have a couple of announcements to make.
Colleagues, as some of you may know there has been a rumour concerning the health of the hon. member for Wild Rose. To put members' minds at ease he is alive and well and looking forward to coming back and resuming his duties here. His illness was a figment of imagination.
Again, before we get to debate, I want to explain to our visitors that I will now make an announcement that we will be leaving the Chamber in about half an hour to go to the Senate for royal assent. What I am doing now is giving notice, in both official languages, that we will be leaving the Chamber.
