I also wish to advise hon. members, since it is the Christmas season, that there will be a small reception for hon. members in room 216 following the royal assent ceremony which will be held, as hon. members know, at 5 o'clock this afternoon. After the ceremony there will be an opportunity for members to come in and raise a glass to celebrate the season. I invite all members to attend.
