[Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, February 27th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During question period the question put to the government by the member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke was answered by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, who confirmed that no one accompanied the Minister of Finance during a trip to China to promote trade. For the purposes of total and absolute clarity and transparency, there should be a complement to that answer.

I would like to inform the House that there was a video prepared in three languages, in Mandarin, English and French. However, it was prepared in advance of the mission in support of the mission's objective to promote Canadian leadership and innovation and especially that of the natural resource sectors. The research and production for the video were carried out by an agency selected through an established bidding process.

[Points of Order, February 27th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, we will take the comments of the hon. member under advisement and report to the House in due course.

[Business of the House, February 26th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find consent for the following motion:

That, at the conclusion of today's debate on the Conservative Opposition Motion, all questions necessary to dispose of this motion be deemed put, a recorded division deemed requested and deferred to the end of government orders on Tuesday, March 9, 2004.

[Business of the House, February 26th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, discussions have taken place between all parties concerning the motion for third reading of Bill C-10 as listed on today's Order Paper.

The Order Paper lists the said motion as moved by Mr. Cotler, Minister of Justice, and seconded by Mr. Assadourian, Brampton Centre. I believe that you would find unanimous consent to have the bill listed as being seconded by Mr. Bagnell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

[Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, February 25th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I suggest that the division be deferred until 5:15 p.m. today.

[Criminal Code, February 24th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you will find there is unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting yes, except those Liberal members who wish to be recorded as voting otherwise.

[Criminal Code, February 24th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you will find there is unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting no, except those Liberal members who wish to vote otherwise.

[Contraventions Act, February 24th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, if the House would agree, I would propose that you seek unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting in favour, except those Liberal members who would like to be registered as having voted otherwise.

[International Transfer of Offenders Act, February 24th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find unanimous consent for the members having voted on the previous motion to be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House, with the Liberals members voting yes, with the exception of those wishing to vote otherwise. I would like to add the names of the members for Outremont, Burlington and Pierrefonds—Dollard.

[International Transfer of Offenders Act, February 20th, 2004]

Mr. Speaker, if you were to seek it, I think you would find consent to further defer the division from Monday until after government orders on Tuesday.
