Mr. Speaker, I am afraid I cannot predict when the opposition will cause obstruction the next time. It is pretty hard for me to predict obstruction by the opposition, so I will not be able to answer in any great detail the last point.
Dealing with the agenda, I would like to share the weekly business statement with all of my colleagues in the House, and it is as follows.
This afternoon we will conclude the second reading debate of Bill C-20, the clarity act.
Tomorrow morning we will consider Bill C-10, dealing with municipal grants, and in the afternoon we will consider the Senate amendments to Bill C-7, the criminal records act, which we began and unfortunately were not able to conclude yesterday.
With time permitting, we could consider Bill C-6, but more than likely we would delay that in an effort to complete Bill C-7. As a matter of fact, we could delay consideration of Bill C-6 for another day.
Next Monday we will return to report stage of Bill C-2, the elections bill. Hopefully we will complete that bill on Monday.
The Minister of Justice intends to introduce tomorrow an omnibus bill which deals with modernizing benefits. I expect that the House will commence debate at second reading on the omnibus bill on Tuesday.
Next Wednesday we will likely debate Bill C-11, respecting the Cape Breton Development Corporation.
