Mr. Speaker, first of all let me read the business statement and then I will gladly answer as well the very important issue raised by the Leader of the Opposition in the House.
The business for the next week is actually quite straightforward. The opposition House leader has alluded to it. There are several supply days to proceed with between now and the end of the supply period. Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday shall be allotted days.
Next Thursday I hope that we can deal with the Senate amendments to Bill C-6. I intend to raise this at the House leaders meeting on Tuesday. In any event I would also like to proceed probably even beforehand with the following pieces of legislation: Bill C-10 on municipal grants; Bill C-12, the amendments to the Canada Labour Code, and I understand that a number of members of the House have made representations to proceed with this bill; and Bill C-13 on the health institutes.
On the conduct of business next Wednesday, given that the day as the hon. member has mentioned is somewhat shorter than other days when we do allotted days, I would be prepared to negotiate with other House leaders to offer an extension on that day to make it at least somewhat more similar to other days. Of course that would have to be arrived at by consent. But I think certainly on our side of the House we are favourably disposed to doing that.
