Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 50 petitions.

[Committees Of The House, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Following more consultations, I think you would find consent for adoption of the following order. I move:

That the Subcommittee on Organized Crime of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights be authorized to travel to Toronto and Newmarket, Ontario and to a Canadian port, and that the necessary staff accompany the subcommittee.

[Committees Of The House, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to move a second motion on which there has also been consultation. I move that the Sub-committee on Organized Crime of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights be authorized to travel to Toronto and Newmarket, Ontario and to a Canadian port and that the necessary staff accompany the sub-committee.

[Committees Of The House, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, as we move toward our adjournment, which is anticipated later this evening, I have two motions on which there has been consultation and for which I think you would find unanimous consent to adopt. I move:

Provided that on any day prior to June 30, 2000, if the Standing Committee on Natural Resources and Government Operations has a report ready for presentation in the House, the said report may be deposited with the Clerk of the House and shall thereupon be deemed tabled in the House.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There have been consultations and if you would seek it I would hope you would find unanimous consent for the following motion dealing with the tabling of committee reports: Provided that on any day prior to June 30, 2000, if the Standing Committee on Natural Resources and Government Operations has a report ready for presentation in the House, the said report may be deposited with the Clerk of the House and shall be thereupon deemed tabled in the House.

[Questions On The Order Paper, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, Question No. 86 will be answered today. .[Text]

Question No. 86—

[Petitions, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I wonder if there might be consent in the House to revert to tabling of committee reports to allow the chair of the Standing Joint Committee on Official Languages to table a report from that committee.

[Committees Of The House, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 37th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs regarding improved financial reporting to parliament project. The report was prepared by the subcommittee on improved financial reporting to parliament.

This is a subject of continuing challenge for colleagues in the House. I would like to commend the chair, the hon. member for Mississauga South, the subcommittee's hardworking members and the staff of that subcommittee for their hard work in ensuring their report would be a unanimous one and ready for presentation to the House within a short timeframe.

I would also like to draw to the attention of the House the fact that pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee is requesting a comprehensive government response.

[Government Response To Petitions, June 15th, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the standing orders, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 23 petitions.
