Mr. Speaker, there are six items involving private members' business where there will be substitution of movers of motions. The motion would read:

That Private Members' Business item M-210 in the name of Mr. Brison now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Mr. Clark;

That Private Members' Business item C-469 in the name of Mr. Jordan now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Mrs. Jennings;

That Private Members' Business item C-438 in the name of Ms. Redman now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Ms. Torsney;

That Private Members' Business item C-230 in the name of Ms. Bulte now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Ms. Carroll;

That Private Members' Business item M-418 in the name of Mr. Szabo now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Mr. Calder;

And, that Private Members' Business item C-457 in the name of Ms. Leung be withdrawn on the order paper and the order for consideration thereof discharged.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I want to make it clear that there have not been previous consultations. However, I wonder if I could add another item to the list. It is simply this. Tomorrow night's private members' hour is a motion in my name. Could we agree that the vote be held over until next week at the choice of the House leaders or the whips and that the motion be deemed put as a part of the package before us on private members' business?

Committees Of The HouseRoutine Proceedings

The Deputy Speaker

The point has been made. Could we deal with the motion before the House first, and then perhaps the hon. member could ask for consent—I sense there is a general consensus—rather than clutter this motion with two things, because this deals with items currently on the order paper and the other deals with a vote tomorrow. I am not trying to jeopardize the hon. member's chances but I sense there is consent for that.

Mr. Speaker, I know there were consultations on Motion M-210, substituting Mr. Clark for Mr. Brison because of the byelection. As far as I know, that was the only consultation that took place. That one I have no problem with because we have talked about it. The other ones, I take it, are because of some changes in the parliamentary secretaries, but I have not seen that list. Perhaps if the hon. member could send that list around we could have a look at it.

The Deputy Speaker

Could the Chair suggest that the parliamentary secretary consult with a couple of opposition members here, get agreement on the list and the suggestion by the hon. member from Kamloops and come back to the House in a few minutes? Perhaps we could then clear it all up. Would that be possible?

Is there another motion the parliamentary secretary wishes to put at this time?

Mr. Speaker, there is indeed another item of business and I would be asking for consent to table a report.

The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs has the honour to present its 38th report. The committee recommends, pursuant to Standing Orders 104 and 114, that the list of members and associate members for standing committees of the House be as follows, and they are listed in the report.

I would ask for unanimous consent to table the report and unanimous consent for concurrence in the report.

Mr. Speaker, I have no objection to giving my consent for the adoption of this report.

I just want to draw to your attention, and to the attention of my colleagues, that things seem to have been done in reverse order, in the sense that we are now adopting the list of members for the various committees a few minutes after having authorized these committees to meet without having to comply with the 48 hour notice requirement.

There is a bit of a problem here. That being said, I have no objection to giving my consent.

Mr. Speaker, given that some colleagues would wish to review the list of the reshuffling of names on the private member's business items, I would simply move one item. I move:

That Private Members' Business item number M-210 in the name of Mr. Brison now stand instead on the order paper in the name of Mr. Clark.

Mr. Speaker, to be fair, there have been limited consultations. This is also a kind of consultation.

Tomorrow night is the third hour for consideration of Motion No. 259, which is in my name. There is no reason we could not proceed with the vote at that time, but I thought members would likely prefer to have it deferred until maybe Tuesday of next week. My suggestion would be that we agree to consider the vote to be put and that the vote be held next Tuesday if that is acceptable.

Is it agreed that tomorrow evening at 6.15 p.m., the question be deemed to have been put on the hon. members motion, a division deemed demanded and deferred until Tuesday at the conclusion of the time provided for government orders?

Mr. Speaker, as the member for Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys has pointed out, consultations have been rather limited.

I wonder whether he would agree to have the vote deferred until Monday rather than Tuesday, because I think that on Tuesday, if the agenda goes as announced, we should be starting the vote at report stage of Bill C-3, which means we will be launching into a marathon of almost 3,000 votes.

We should perhaps save ourselves an extra vote on Tuesday on the motion by the member for Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys by voting on it the day before instead.

Mr. Speaker, there have been no discussion in this regard. We will be happy to discuss it and consider it but we are not prepared to agree to it at this point in time.
