That is right. They will all be deferred to Monday.
Canada Endangered Species Protection Act April 24th, 1997
If the motion moved by my colleague means that he wants to defer to the next sitting, then we support it.

Canada Endangered Species Protection Act April 24th, 1997
We could ask my colleague.
Canada Endangered Species Protection Act April 24th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, in that case, I believe my colleague's motion is useless. He moved that the divisions be deferred. When the debate ends, we will ask that the divisions be deferred. Does this motion still serve any purpose then?
Canada Endangered Species Protection Act April 24th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a question. We might agree to the motion being moved, depending on its content. But I believe that in the motion, my hon. colleague is asking that the motions be deemed moved and the divisions deferred.
If the divisions are deferred, to when will they be deferred? If it is later today, that is one thing, but if it is Monday, that is altogether different. I would like the motion to specify when the divisions will be deferred to and then we will see if we can support it.
Transportation Of Farm Workers April 24th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, for the hon. member's information, I would like to point out that it was a federal-provincial agreement and not a question of the federal government taking over from the province. An agreement is usually reached because we want to do business together.
The federal government had already reduced its financial contribution from 50 per cent to 40 per cent, and now it is down to nothing.
Does the minister realize that his refusal to maintain the federal contribution to this program will mostly affect small farmers trying to recruit help and thousands of low-income seasonal workers?
Transportation Of Farm Workers April 24th, 1997
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
On March 31, the federal government stopped its financial contribution to the Quebec agricultural day haul transportation assistance program. So, this year, the government of Quebec will have to finance all by itself the program, which will be cut by 40
per cent, or $330,000, because of the federal government's withdrawal.
Since this successful program provides vital transportation services for some 150,000 person-days a year in Quebec, why is the minister reluctant to renew the federal government's financial contribution?
