[Question Passed As Order For Return, October 25th, 1995]

Mr. Speaker, I suggest that all remaining questions be allowed to stand.

Mr. Speaker, if question No. 215 could be made an order for return, that return would be tabled immediately.

[Committees Of The House, October 25th, 1995]

Mr. Speaker, if the House gives its consent, I move that the 94th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, presented to the House earlier this day, be concurred in. This is the membership change report, in case members are confused.

Also, if the House gives its consent, and I believe there is consent forthcoming, I move that the 95th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, presented to the House earlier this day, be concurred in. This report is the one that deals with the extension of the deadline for the report of the committee on the business of supply.

(Motions agreed to.)

[Committees Of The House, October 25th, 1995]

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 95th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs in relation to the business of supply. In this report the committee respectfully requests that its deadline for reporting to the House be extended to March 29, 1996.

Also, if the House gives its consent I intend to move the adoption of this report later today.

[Committees Of The House, October 25th, 1995]

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 94th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs in relation to the list of members of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans.

With leave of the House, I intend to move for concurrence in this report later today.

[Government Response To Petitions, October 25th, 1995]

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

[Cultural Property Export And Import Act, October 24th, 1995]

Madam Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member. I congratulate him on a very able speech.

The member must know that at second reading of the bill the members of the Reform Party voted against it. Some of us were kind of surprised at that because the bill does something to promote Canada's culture. It does quite a lot to promote Canada's culture I would suggest, particularly the culture that is contained in Canada's museums and art galleries.

Does the hon. member agree with me that the Reform Party policy on this matter is inappropriate and that Reform Party members should be supporting the bill since they must recognize, as we do, that culture is an extremely important part of Canada's political, economic and social life?

The culture represented by Canada's art galleries and museums is a very significant part of our heritage.

[Questions On The Order Paper, October 24th, 1995]

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

[Government Response To Petitions, October 24th, 1995]
