It being 12:14 p.m., pursuant to an order made Monday, December 3, it is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of the report stage of the bill now before the House.
Before completing debate at report stage of Bill C-45, I wish to explain the process to the House.
Since the motions in Group No. 1 have already been proposed, I will only refer to the motion number when putting the questions on the motions in that group.
With respect to the motions in Group No. 2, they will be put to the House in the usual manner. When the House is ready to proceed with the putting of the motions of said group, I will only refer to the motion number.
To this end, I have asked that copies of the report stage section of today's notice paper be placed on each member's desk for ease of reference.
I would like to point out that this is the same process that was used last June at report stage of Bill C-38.
We shall now proceed to the putting of the question on Motion No. 1. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
