Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.
I wish to seek unanimous consent for the following motion. All parties have been consulted and I believe they all agree with the following. I now want to submit it to the House. I move:
That for each of the following items of business, at the specified times, all questions necessary for the disposal of the specified stages shall be deemed to have been put and divisions requested and deferred to the end of consideration of Government Orders on Tuesday, April 13, 1999:
-
Report stage of Bill C-27, when debate concludes or at the end of the time provided for Government Orders on March 25, 1999, whichever is earlier;
-
Second reading of Bill S-11, when debate concludes or after 45 minutes of debate, whichever is earlier;
That at the commencement of consideration of Bill C-27, all amendments that are ruled to be in order shall be deemed to have been duly moved and seconded;
That, when the aforementioned business has been completed, if the House has not yet attended a royal assent ceremony, the sitting shall be suspended to the call of the Chair; and—
For further clarity, if we complete government business before question period, that would also mean that the Chair would suspend the sitting until question period and recall us for that.
That the House shall not sit on Friday, March 26, 1999, but shall be deemed to have sat and adjourned on that day for the purposes of Standing Order 28.
