[Petitions, May 31st, 2002]

Madam Speaker, I have a petition signed by about 82 people from the city of Wetaskiwin and the surrounding area. They have a concern that the courts have not applied the current child pornography law in a way which makes it clear that such exploitation of children will always be met with swift punishment.

The petitioners call upon the Parliament of Canada to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to ensure that all materials which promote or glorify pedophilia or sadomasochistic activities involving children are outlawed.

[Business of the House, May 23rd, 2002]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the government what business it has for the remainder of today, tomorrow and for the next week.

[Privilege, April 25th, 2002]

I just want to inform you, Mr. Speaker, that the member for Kelowna, the Canadian Alliance critic for seniors, is on his way to the House. I am sure he would like an opportunity to answer these charges; while we are waiting for the bus. I am sure the bus is on its way and it will no doubt bring the member for Kelowna, who I hope finds his way here without undue assault.

[An Act to amend the Criminal Code (cruelty to animals and firearms) and the Firearms Act, April 23rd, 2002]

[Privilege, April 23rd, 2002]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask unanimous consent to apply the vote.

Mr. Speaker, I think if you were to seek it, you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote to the motion before us with the Canadian Alliance members voting yea.

[Privilege, April 23rd, 2002]

Mr. Speaker, I think if you were to seek it, you might find unanimous consent to proceed with the main motion on the question of privilege.

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Alliance members are opposed to the motion.

[Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2001, April 23rd, 2002]

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Alliance will be voting yes to the amendment.

[An act to amend the Criminal Code (cruelty to animals and firearms) and the Firearms Act, April 22nd, 2002]

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I believe you would find unanimous consent that the vote on the subamendment be deferred until the end of government orders tomorrow.
