Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There have been consultations and I think you would find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move:
That the House recognize that the provisions of Bill C-45 dealing with members' pensions should be enacted as quickly as possible, and passed without further debate;
That Bill C-45, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, be divided into two bills: Bill C-45, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, and Bill C-46, an act to amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act; and
That Bill C-46 be composed of
(a) clauses 475 to 514 of Bill C-45, as it is presently composed,
(b) a clause, inserted before all of the other clauses, to provide that “This act may be cited as the Pension Reform Act”, and
(c) a clause, inserted after all of the other clauses, to provide that “This act comes into force, or is deemed to have come into force, on January 1, 2013”;
That Bill C-46 be deemed to have been read the second time and deemed referred to a committee of the whole, deemed reported without amendment, deemed concurred in at report stage and deemed read the third time and passed;
That Bill C-46 be composed of its remaining clauses;
That Bill C-45 retain the status on the order paper that it had prior to the adoption of this order;
That the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel be authorized to make any technical changes or corrections as may be necessary; and
