[Government Response To Petitions, April 16th, 1997]

Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 25 petitions.

[Government Response To Petitions, April 15th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 17 petitions.

[An Act To Amend Certain Laws Relating To Financial Institutions, April 15th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I think you will find unanimous consent for the House to now proceed to third reading of Bill C-55.

[Questions On The Order Paper, April 15th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I ask that the remaining questions be allowed to stand.

[Questions On The Order Paper, April 15th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I wish to advise that Question No. 106 will be answered today.

Question No. 106-

[Canada Marine Act, April 14th, 1997]

That is correct.

[Canada Marine Act, April 14th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think you will find that the House will grant its consent for the following motion after the speakers from Blainville-Deux-Montagnes and Beauport, who I understand have 10-minute speeches, and the two speakers on the government side who are splitting their time five minutes each. I move:

That all questions required to dispose of report stage of Bill C-44 be deemed moved and seconded, questions put, divisions demanded and the votes deferred to the end of Government Orders on Tuesday, April 15, 1997.

[Canada Marine Act, April 14th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, a point of order. I understand what stage we are at but I want to be sure that there is unanimous consent to extend the hours for the three speakers that have been agreed to so that we do not run out of time. There will be three 10 minute speeches. I want to be sure that there is unanimous consent for that.

At the end of those speakers all questions are deemed to have been put and deferred until the 12.30 vote tomorrow.

[Criminal Code, April 14th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I think if you seek it you would see that. However, I believe the Speaker would advise that we need to collapse Bill C-27 and defer that vote and then move to Bill C-44. I believe there would be three ten-minute speeches for report stage only.

[Criminal Code, April 14th, 1997]

Mr. Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent to have debate collapse on this government order. With the predisposition of the House, and after a great deal of consultation, I believe we would then call Bill C-44 and proceed with report stage of Bill C-44 only.

I believe that the predisposition of the House at the moment is that there would be no further debate on Bill C-27, the question would be put and deferred, and we would move on to Bill C-44.
