Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I wonder if you might seek the unanimous consent of the House to allow me to table a private member's bill this morning identifying September 3rd as Merchant Navy Veterans Day. The rationale for this is because I am not sure I can get it on the order paper prior to the House rising for the summer and obviously we will not be back in time for September 3rd. The hope is that many of the veterans who are alive today will have an opportunity to celebrate that national day on September 3rd.
