Order.

We are all very excited to go back to our constituents, but the hon. opposition House leader has some very important questions to ask, and we want to make sure that we all hear them.

John Brassard Conservative Barrie—Innisfil, ON

Mr. Speaker, as I said, you will be glad to know that I have been cleaning out my very messy desk and I am sure that the pages will be glad to hear that as well.

Before my Thursday question, I just want to say, on behalf of our entire Conservative family, how great it is to see you after what you went through. Your health is returning and your strength is returning, and certainly your voice is returning, which is good. We are glad that you are on your way to much better health.

I also want to thank your deputy and your assistant deputies as well, along with our clerk's staff, the Clerk himself, our administration staff and everyone who supports the work that we do here in Parliament.

I know that it has been a difficult couple of years, but I do want to say thanks to the cleaners, the cooks, the bus drivers, the PPS—everybody—for doing such a great job. Our thanks go to all of them.

Allow me some time to personally say thanks to my constituency staff back in Barrie—Innisfil, my Hill staff here, and also our House leader staff.

I took over this position at the beginning of February. I want to thank all of my staff in my House leader's office for supporting me and the work that we can do on behalf of our colleagues.

We simply could not do this without their help and certainly we could not do this without their guidance.

Here is my question for the hon. government House leader: Can he tell the House and tell Canadians what the business of the House will be?

Mark Holland LiberalLeader of the Government in the House of Commons

Mr. Speaker, let me wish my colleague opposite and indeed every member of the House a very joyful and safe summer. I hope that everyone is able to spend time with their families and recharge, spend time with their constituents and people they love and spend time in the relationships that they care about. I hope that we come back rested and recharged to work with one another in the fall.

Mr. Speaker, let me echo the comments of the opposition House leader in saying how wonderful it is to see you in such fine form. I hope that you as well will enjoy the summer. I want to thank you and your entire team.

Similarly, I want to thank the Clerk of the House for his work, as well as the Table officers, the interpreters, the pages, the people who work in the different branches of House administration, the Parliamentary Protective Service and all of the staff who so ably serve this place day in and day out to make sure that we can do our jobs. We are incredibly humbled by the work that they do.

I want to thank, on our side, the incredible teams that support me, the whip, the whip's office and the House leader's office. I want to thank the incredible staff we have, and indeed all the staff who support every member of Parliament and the functions that we do. We all owe the staff who work for us an enormous debt. We know that it is an incredible sacrifice they make for all of us each and every day.

Finally, I move that pursuant to the order made Monday, May 2, the House do now adjourn until Monday, September 19.
