Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I tried to move this motion earlier today. I know we are in the last minutes of today's sitting. Therefore I want to raise this issue again of trying to get unanimous consent to pass this motion.
I want to repeat to all hon. colleagues, because I know some members are perhaps discussing this issue among themselves, that the Senate has officially indicated on the record in Hansard that if we pass this bill today in the House, it will pass it tomorrow and it will be assented to tomorrow, to give Canadians the much needed assistance that this bill will provide.
Therefore I would seek unanimous consent to move that at 5.30 p.m. this day, Bill C-44 shall be deemed to have been read a second time, referred to a committee of the whole, and reported to the House without amendment, concurred in at report stage, read a third time and passed.
I ask all hon. members one last time to agree to this motion.
