[Questions Passed As Orders For Returns, September 19th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I am told that the answer to question No. 33 will be ready to table in the House tomorrow. I hope to be able to do it and thereby help the hon. member fulfil her duties.

As to question No. 38, I understand the answer is being prepared and should be available shortly.

Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the House would give unanimous consent to revert to motions so that I could move concurrence in Motion No. 1 standing in my name on the Order Paper, being concurrence in the 28th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs dealing with the allocation of committee rooms.

[Questions Passed As Orders For Returns, September 19th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I ask that the remaining questions be allowed to stand.

[Questions Passed As Orders For Returns, September 19th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, if Questions Nos. 26, 39 and 55 could be made Orders for Returns, these returns would be tabled immediately.

[Questions On The Order Paper, September 19th, 1994]

On February 8, 1994 the Government of Canada announced the most comprehensive anti-smoking campaign in Canadian history.

In the meantime the Department of Health has undertaken an extensive consultation process with the provinces, territories and the health community concerning the design and implementation of many of the elements of our overall strategy.

The Department of Health expects to present its proposals in the near future. Once the most effective and targeted strategy is finalized, funding for the various components will be allocated.

Also, resources for 349 additional RCMP officers to perform anti-smuggling duties were approved as part of the government's action plan to combat smuggling. This means that there are now to be approximately 700 RCMP officers doing anti-smuggling work, doubling the number of officiers working in the area previously.

[Questions On The Order Paper, September 19th, 1994]

I am informed as follows:

In so far as the Department of Transport is concerned:

In 1991/92, the policy and co-ordination activity made a $25,000 contribution to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 143, Erickson, Manitoba. The contribution was provided under the conditions of the transportation of disabled persons program (accessible vehicle acquisition program).

In so far as the Department of Veterans Affairs is concerned:

Since January 1, 1985, Veterans Affairs has paid an annual grant of $9,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion for expenses incurred by the service bureau of the Legion. The service bureau is an organization instituted by the Legion for the purpose of preparing claim submissions to the Canadian pension commission, the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies on behalf of veterans and their dependants.

I also want to thank the members of the House leadership teams on all sides and indeed all the members on all sides of the House for their forbearance, patience and co-operation today.

I realize that for some it has been a slightly difficult day but I appreciate the co-operation and spirit that has pervaded the House through virtually the entire day and it is similar to that which has pervaded the House through this session so far.

I want to also wish all hon. members a very happy summer holiday because with the motion that we adopted earlier the House, when it adjourns this evening, will be adjourned for the summer. We have no need to sit tomorrow and I am pleased at this time to move:

That the House do now adjourn.
