Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, in a previous incarnation of Parliament, when a number of votes were being passed, in that case surrounding the Nisga'a treaty, as members will remember, there was unanimous consent sought by the House, and I believe achieved, in order to see question period at 2 p.m.
There have been consultations among the parties. I am hoping that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to present the following motion:
That notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practice of the House, the recorded divisions at report stage on Bill C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, shall be temporarily suspended after the division taking place at 2:10 p.m is concluded; that the House immediately proceed to a period of oral questions, pursuant to Standing Order 30; and that no later than 3:00 p.m. today, all proceedings taking place at that time shall be immediately suspended for the House to resume the taking of the deferred recorded divisions at report stage of Bill C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, to allow members of Parliament to put questions to the government of the day.
