Petitions  The time allocated for petitions has expired. It is possible to table petitions with the table. I encourage members to consider that option as well.

Committees of the House   for private members' business, for example, for the backbenchers, the government will never interfere with that by trying unilaterally to change the order of the day or the time allocated to this type of debate. For the same reason, and based on the same principle, I do not believe anyone

Business of the House   for Prince George—Peace River points out, I had previously given a ruling that expressed some concern about the use of this Standing Order as a means to avoid using time allocation or closure or some other limit on time for debate, and I invited committee response. None has been

Business of the House   on the two bills, Bill C-43 and Bill C-48, every day beginning with the next sitting of the House, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and thus there would not be in effect time allocation or closure brought?

Extended Sitting Period  Mr. Speaker, everyday I see the government stooping to new lows. Today we see threats against members of the House of time allocation and using closure to prevent appropriate debate. It goes on and on and it is getting worse, quite frankly. The member is talking about Bill C-48

Treaties Act  The time allocated for debate has expired. The question is on the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

Extension of Sitting Period   either closure under Standing Order 57 or time allocation under Standing Order 78 but the responsibility of the government is to provide good governance for the nation, which our Liberal government wants to do.

If the opposition delays, and I am not saying this of everybody, but if the Conservative opposition delays the government in completing its work, then obviously the government has only one or two choices. It can either curtail debate, that is, move time allocation

Civil Marriage Act   this could have been avoided and where we can go from here. With the government invoking time allocation at report stage and third reading, we will be voting on the legislation tomorrow night and there is nothing we can do about it now except to be here to vote and we will. Bill C-38

Civil Marriage Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Since the Liberal side has invoked time allocation or closure on this debate, I think it is important for us to at least remain on the topic that we are debating, namely the issue of marriage. That individual has drifted far from

Civil Marriage Act  I am sure the hon. member is getting back to the topic, but I must say that in the debate tonight we have heard a lot about other bills and the application of time allocation on them. While I am sure the hon. parliamentary secretary has his mind on Bill C-38, he has wandered off

Canada Labour Code  It being 6:52 p.m., the time allocated for debate has expired. The question is on the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
