[Government Response to Petitions, March 13th, 2002]

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

[Points of Order, March 12th, 2002]

Mr. Speaker, the government for obvious reasons has no direct role in determining which opposition party gets which opposition days. However of course in the interest of assisting the House in doing business, the government has participated in discussions with the parties on such matters.

I have heard the description by the hon. member from Roberval of the agreement. My understanding is that description as he put it is accurate.
