Points Of Order October 30th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the hon. member on his very helpful suggestion.
I can indicate to him that having given me some notice this morning of the fact that he intended to raise the matter, although I did not have the specifics of the motion he had planned I spoke with the chief government whip who, as he knows, is a member of the procedure and House affairs committee which I have the honour to chair. The chief government whip indicated to me his enthusiasm for the suggestion and he is quite prepared to consider it in committee. While I am happy to take the hon. member's motion under advisement, it would be inappropriate to make changes to the standing orders of the House here on the floor without notice.
Normally notice is given of these motions if they come at all through other than the committee. I think it appropriate that the committee take the matter under advisement and report to the House and I will undertake to see that the committee does study it at an early date.

This will cost a fortune. The hon. member does not care about that despite their pretence of claiming they are interested in thrift. He will insist on this answer. We will get him the answer. It is nearing completion, but I am sure it will be an extremely voluminous answer.
I hope he has a long holiday coming up from Parliament so he can sit down and read it when he gets it.
Points Of Order October 26th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, I know the hon. member and Job have a lot in common when it comes to patience. I respect the fact the hon. member has been very patient in waiting for a reply, but he read his question and therein lies the problem in getting the answer.
He has asked for every department, agency and crown corporation how many employees meet certain criteria and he has asked for specifics on each of the employees. When we add up all the agencies, crown corporations and departments, including the armed forces, the RCMP and so on, the Government of Canada has over half a million employees as far as I am aware.
Every department will have to go through every list of every employee and every agency will have to do the same, including the Department of National Defence and the Armed Forces of Canada.
