I have the honour to inform the House that when the House went up to the Senate chamber, the Governor General was pleased to give, in Her Majesty's name, royal assent to the following bills:
Bill C-4, an act to amend an act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Income Tax Act — Chapter 1.
Bill C-8, an act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the public service of Canada for the financial year ending March 31, 2007 — Chapter 2.
Pursuant to order made earlier today I wish to inform the House that because of the royal assent government orders will be extended by 12 minutes.
