Mr. Speaker, if this is the Thursday question, then I would like to ask the government House leader what on earth we are going to debate next week. Is it possible to ever get those people over there to understand what we should be debating in the House of Commons?

Mr. Speaker, the latter part of the hon. gentleman's remarks tend to go a bit beyond the normal Thursday question. Far be it from me to try to fathom the conservative mind. I would have to leave that to those opposite at either end of the House.
We will continue this afternoon and again tomorrow with consideration of Bill C-49, the budget implementation bill. As noted in the House earlier today there is agreement among all parties that the debate on second reading stage of Bill C-49 will be concluded before the end of the day tomorrow. If time permits tomorrow, we will then turn to Bill C-50, the WTO legislation pertaining to China.
Our intention when we return on February 18 is to commence report stage of Bill C-5, the species at risk legislation. Tuesday, February 19, shall be an allotted day.
The House resumed consideration of the motion, and of the amendment.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. For clarification, if the hon. government House leader wants to put the question, and the vote on the amendment is to take place immediately, this can happen. It is that simple.
