[Points Of Order, May 11th, 1994]

Madam Speaker, I think you will find there is agreement among the parties that at the conclusion of the speech of the Minister of Fisheries on Bill C-29, which I understand will be called in a moment as the first item of government business, there will be a 10-minute period of questions and comments.

[Points Of Order, May 11th, 1994]

Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I have two matters. I think the House will give its consent to the withdrawal of government business Nos. 11 and 12, the two motions for debate on special subjects which have now been debated and are therefore finished. To clear the Order Paper, I am asking that they be withdrawn with consent.

[Motion For Papers, May 11th, 1994]

Madam Speaker, I would ask that all notices of motions for the production of papers also stand.

[Questions On The Order Paper, May 11th, 1994]

Madam Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

[Government Response To Petitions, May 11th, 1994]

Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 10 petitions.

[Questions On The Order Paper, May 10th, 1994]

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