[General Security Insurance Company Of Canada, June 22nd, 1994]

Madam Speaker, in view of the excellent progress in the House today we are not going to call any further government business.

On behalf of the government House leader and the members of the House leadership team on this side of the House, I want to thank the occupants of the Chair for their co-operation this day, the table officers of the House and the pages of the House who were thanked by the Speaker earlier today.

[Department Of Citizenship And Immigration Act, June 22nd, 1994]

Madam Speaker, I think you will find unanimous consent to change the position of item No. 1 on the order of precedence under Private Members' Business and make it item No. 8 and to move item No. 8 to position No. 1.

For Your Honour's information item No. 8 is Bill S-3. Having made that exchange I think you will find unanimous consent to dispose of Bill S-3 immediately at all stages.

[Yukon First Nations Land Claims Settlement Act, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I think the agreement is that the House will adjourn tonight and the standing order will be treated as though it were adjourning on June 23, that there will be 20 minutes allotted to the hon. member for Yukon, 20 minutes allotted to one of the members of the Reform Party before the question is put, pursuant to the special order adopted yesterday. I think that would solve the problem.

I understand also that the hon. member for Churchill will need another two minutes to complete his remarks. I think that might be included in the whole arrangement if that is satisfactory to all hon. members. If so I think we might proceed on that understanding.

[Yukon First Nations Land Claims Settlement Act, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I think there is unanimous agreement in the House that when the House adjourns this day after completion of the business of the House it would be deemed to be adjourned as of tomorrow at the normal hour of adjournment. In other words, for all purposes June 23 in the standing orders would be counted as June 22 in the standing orders and accordingly when the House adjourns tonight it will be adjourned until September 19. If there is that understanding I think we can proceed as indicated.

[Committees Of The House, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I have a further suggestion, that we continue with the suspension of private members' hour and that we proceed with Bill C-34.

[Committees Of The House, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I think you might find consent for the following motion. I move that the 28th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs presented to the House on Friday, June 10, 1994 be concurred in.

[Committees Of The House, June 22nd, 1994]

I move:

That until September 19, 1994, notwithstanding the usual practices of this House, all committees shall be authorized to deposit their reports with the Clerk of the House on days when the House stands adjourned, pursuant to Standing Order 28(2), whereupon those reports shall be deemed to have been presented to the House.

(Motion agreed to.)

[Excise Tax Act, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I think you might find unanimous consent in the House for a couple of motions.

[Excise Tax Act, June 22nd, 1994]

Point of order, Mr. Speaker. I think you might find there is unanimous consent of the House to suspend the operation of private members' hour for the time being to permit completion of the debate on Bill C-32.

[Committees Of The House, June 22nd, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs:

That the House do now proceed to Orders of the Day.
