[Questions On The Order Paper, June 20th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I thought it was Question No. 41 and I anticipated having an answer to that one tomorrow. With respect to Question No. 47, I will investigate to find out what particular problems have resulted in the delay in answering the question.

The government has been fairly diligent in its work in preparing answers to these questions, some of which involve a great deal of information. I will see what I can do to provide a response to the hon. member later this week.

[Petitions, June 17th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by numerous residents of Kingston and the Islands, particularly of the city of Kingston, who request that Parliament ensure that the present provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada prohibiting assisted suicide be retained without changes and enforced in order that Parliament not sanction or allow the aiding or abetting of suicide or euthanasia.

I am pleased to present this petition to the House.

[Committees Of The House, June 17th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, with leave of the House, I move that the 31st report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs tabled in the House today, be concurred in.

(Motion agreed to.)

[Committees Of The House, June 17th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 30th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. This is a procedural report dealing with special debates in the House and will be of interest to all hon. members.

I also have the honour to present the 31st report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs regarding membership on committees.

If the House gives its consent, I intend to move concurrence in the 31st report later this day.

[Government Expenditures, June 17th, 1994]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. There has been a very slight pressure of time issue that needs to be dealt with. I wonder if the House would give its unanimous consent to interrupt the statements by ministers for just a moment to allow the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to introduce a bill.

I think you would find there is consent to do that. I apologize for this interruption, particularly to members of the opposition who are going to make their responses. It will only take a second.
