Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology in relation to Bill C-268, an act respecting the spectrum policy framework for Canada. The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House without amendment.

Mr. Speaker, this summer Canada's newest national monument, located here in Ottawa, was unveiled. It is called Thunderhead, and it pays tribute to those affected by the LGBT purge and generations of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians who fought to be seen, heard and treated equally. I am especially proud that this national monument has deep roots in my riding of Winnipeg South Centre. It was designed by Public City Architecture, led by my constituents Liz Wreford and Peter Sampson, in collaboration with artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan and knowledge keeper Albert McLeod. Inspired by the power and energy of a thunderhead cloud, the monument is a place of remembrance, healing, resilience, joy and hope. It helps us understand where we come from and fills us with valuable lessons as we chart a path toward a more hopeful and inclusive future. I offer huge congratulations to Public City and the entire team on creating this lasting contribution to our country.

Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. The colleague across the way and I had the wonderful privilege of being classmates together at Carleton University a number of years ago and debated quite often. If I am not mistaken, I do believe the debate before us is on Bill C-10, and although I am enjoying some of the observations the member is making, I have not heard the word “treaty”, the word “commissioner” or the bill referenced in the last 10 minutes. I wonder if maybe there is a point to be made on that front.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fourth report of the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology, entitled “The Impact Of U.S. Tariffs on the Tool, Die, Mould and Metallurgical Manufacturing Industries in Canada”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There have been discussions amongst the parties, and if you seek it, I think you will find unanimous consent to adopt the following motion: That, notwithstanding any Standing or Special Order or usual practice of the House, with respect to the consideration of Government Business No. 13: (a) when no member rises to speak, all questions necessary to dispose of Government Business No. 13 be put forthwith and successively without further debate or amendment; (b) if a recorded division is requested, it shall not be deferred and the bells to call in the members shall be sounded for not more than 30 minutes.
