John Baird

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I believe if you were to check you would find unanimous consent from our friends in the Liberal Party, the New Democratic Party and the member for Repentigny, who I spoke with earlier, to allow Motions Nos. 25 and 26, which the Speaker disallowed, to be included in Group No. 2.

I hope that my colleague from Quebec will have some positive comments, because I spoke with him for a little while. I am sure he will.

I am therefore requesting the unanimous consent of the House to include Motions Nos. 25 and 26 in Group No. 2.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

I bet you can do it in two minutes.

[Points of Order, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order to correct the record. I should have said let us move to accountability from corruption.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, the good news for Canadians, who are demanding accountability in law, is the moment of truth will soon be upon us. On April 11, the new government tabled the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history. Every member in the House will soon have an opportunity to stand up and be counted on accountability.

Let us replace darkness with light. Let us replace accountability with corruption.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, I move:

That proposed Motion No. 5 be included in Group No. 1.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

We did it for the member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent for Motion No. 5, which had been ruled as inadmissible, to be included in the first batch.

[Federal Accountability Act, June 20th, 2006]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We have had discussions with all parties about grouping Motion No. 5, which was ruled inadmissible with respect to the part on future transition teams. I think you were to seek it you would find unanimous consent to group Motion No. 5.
