Statements in the House

Points Of Order February 6th, 1995

Mr. Speaker, before giving unanimous consent, are we to understand that this would create a precedent and that it will now be possible to ask for a vote to be reviewed after three, four or five days or even a week?

Public Service February 6th, 1995

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. In another of his surprising pronouncements, last Friday in Toronto, the Prime Minister said that there are public servants who are paid to sit around and do nothing. He was immediately contradicted by the President of the Treasury Board.

Given that he was contradicted by his own minister, does the Prime Minister maintain that there are federal public servants who are paid to sit around and do nothing? If so, how many are there, and if not, was he referring to those three National

Defence generals who chartered an Airbus to go and play golf in Florida at taxpayer's expenses? After Operation William Tell, are we having an Operation Lazyboy?

Madam Speaker, we will vote yea.

Madam Speaker, again, I think that the numbers of the motions reported by the hon. Liberal Party whip should be checked because all this is not consistent with the previous agreement.

Would it be possible to repeat the numbers of the motions being referred to?
