Statements in the House

Committees Of The House February 14th, 1994

I move that the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, presented to the House earlier this day, be concurred in.

(Motion agreed to.)

Committees Of The House February 14th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.

The Committee recommends that the name of Mr. Hopkins be substituted for the name of Mr. Gagliano on the list of members of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. That completes the report and I will move for its concurrence in a few minutes.

Criminal Code February 14th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I wonder if I might seek unanimous consent of the House at this stage to revert to presentation of reports by committees. I have a very brief report from the procedure and House affairs committee that I would like to present to the House and have it concurred in.

Questions On The Order Paper February 14th, 1994

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

Committees Of The House February 10th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I move that the third report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs presented to the House earlier this day be concurred in.

(Motion agreed to.)

Committees Of The House February 10th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present to the House the third report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. The report provides the list of associate members of standing committees.

If the House gives its consent, I propose to move concurrence in the report immediately. In view of the length of the report, I would ask that we dispense with the reading of the report.

Ways And Means February 10th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I would seek unanimous consent of the House to revert to presenting reports by standing and special committees.

Supply February 10th, 1994

I think we have all the committees we need. We have the public accounts committee, the chairperson of which will be appointed by the Official Opposition. It could examine all these matters the hon. member raised, matters which are really important to all Canadians. This committee is responsible for dealing with the Report of the Auditor General. I wonder why the hon. member could not start examining that report as well as the programs he mentioned in his speech when this committee is convened.

Supply February 10th, 1994

Mr. Speaker, I would have a question for the hon. member. I greatly appreciated his remarks and his idea of setting up another House committee.

Questions On The Order Paper February 10th, 1994

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