Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the parties and I believe if you seek it you will find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move:

That, notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practice of the House:

Until December 10, 2015, Standing Order 81 be amended as follows:

Section (5) be replaced with the following:

Supplementary estimates shall be deemed referred to a committee of the whole House immediately after they are presented in the House. A committee of the whole shall consider and shall report, or shall be deemed to have reported, the same back to the House not later than one sitting day before the final sitting or the last allotted day in the current period.

On a day appointed by a minister of the crown, consideration of the Supplementary Estimates shall be taken up by a committee of the whole immediately following the consideration of a motion under the provisions of Standing Order 83(3) and (4), for a period of time not exceeding three hours.

During the time provided for consideration of the supplementary estimates pursuant to this paragraph, no quorum calls, dilatory motions, or requests for unanimous consent shall be received by the chair; no member shall be recognized for more than fifteen minutes at a time; and the member shall not speak in debate more than ten minutes during that period.

The fifteen minutes may be used both for debate and for posing questions to the minister of the crown or a parliamentary secretary acting on behalf of the minister. When the member is recognized, he or she shall indicate how the fifteen minutes is to be apportioned.

Furthermore, within each fifteen-minute period, each party may allocate time to one or more of its members for speeches or for questions and answer, provided that, in the case of questions and answers, the minister's answer approximately reflect the time taken by the question, and provided that, in the case of speeches, members of the party to which the period is allocated may speak one after the other.

At the conclusion of the time provided for the consideration of the business pursuant to this section, the committee shall rise, the estimates shall be deemed reported and the House shall immediately adjourn to the next sitting day; and

That, subject to the provisions of this order, the business of supply shall otherwise be conducted in accordance with Standing Order 81.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order just to make a very brief statement. I apologize for the rather lengthy one previously on the House business for the coming week. We did not have the usual Thursday question, so I wanted colleagues to have a very quick overview of our plans for next week.

Monday, the House will have the first day of debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.

Tuesday, will be the second day of debate on the address in reply.

Wednesday, pursuant to the motion that was just graciously adopted by the House, following the consideration of a ways and means motion, the House will resolve into committee of the whole for the purposes of considering supplementary estimates.

Thursday will be the first and last allotted day for the Conservative Party in the fall supply period.

On Friday, the House will complete the third of six days of debate on the address in reply. The House would then stand adjourned until January 25, 2016.

Mr. Speaker, I move:

That the House do now adjourn.
