Government Orders
If people want to speak quickly to this, maybe we will allow that for a few moments, just to pass on our deepest condolences to the constituents of Winnipeg South Centre and, of course, to Mr. Carr's family and friends on his passing. He was in here last week passing his bill. It just shows how quickly things can changes in our lives, and then we lose friends and family in that way. Does the hon. … Read full speechShow less
If people want to speak quickly to this, maybe we will allow that for a few moments, just to pass on our deepest condolences to the constituents of Winnipeg South Centre and, of course, to Mr. Carr's family and friends on his passing. He was in here last week passing his bill. It just shows how quickly things can changes in our lives, and then we lose friends and family in that way.

Routine Proceedings
Is that agreed?

Since today is the final allotted day for the supply period ending December 10, the House will now go through the usual procedures to consider and dispose of the supply bill. In view of current recent practices, do hon. members agree that the bill be distributed now?

I am not sure why, but I am craving Kraft Dinner. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and to the President of the Treasury Board.

Private Members' Business
It is my duty to inform hon. members that pursuant to Standing Order 93(3), no amendment may be proposed to a private member's motion or to the motion for second reading of a private member's bill unless the sponsor of the item indicates his or her consent. Since the sponsor is not present to give his consent, the amendment cannot be moved at this time. The hon. member for Vancouver East is rising… Read full speechShow less
It is my duty to inform hon. members that pursuant to Standing Order 93(3), no amendment may be proposed to a private member's motion or to the motion for second reading of a private member's bill unless the sponsor of the item indicates his or her consent. Since the sponsor is not present to give his consent, the amendment cannot be moved at this time. The hon. member for Vancouver East is rising on a point of order.
Private Members' Business
I can reference it when it comes to getting consent from a member. The hon. member for Vancouver East.
Private Members' Business
The Chair can reference it for an amendment, but a member in the chamber cannot. The Chair reserves that right when it comes to getting consent for a motion. On the same point of order, the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader has the floor.
Private Members' Business
On that same point of order, the hon. member for Vancouver East has the floor.
Private Members' Business
I think I was clear enough when I said that the Chair can reference whether somebody is here or not but members cannot. I apologize if I was not clear on that. We should continue. I do not see any movement from the parliamentary secretary, nor would I expect any because of the clarification I tried to give as the Chair. The hon. member for Vancouver East.
Private Members' Business
We are descending way too far into debate on what we should or should not be doing on a private member's motion. I will let the hon. parliamentary secretary have the last very short point of order.
Private Members' Business
The member cannot refer to the name of the member presenting the motion, which I think is probably what the member for Vancouver East is standing on.
Private Members' Business
Maybe we will have the parliamentary secretary start over without that reference.
Private Members' Business
When we do come back to this, the member will have about eight minutes remaining. The time provided for the consideration of Private Members' Business is now expired and the order is dropped to the bottom of the order of precedence on the Order Paper.
Adjournment Proceedings
The motion to adjourn the House is now deemed to have been adopted. Accordingly, the House stands adjourned until tomorrow at 10 a.m. pursuant to Standing Order 24(1). (The House adjourned at 7:58 p.m.)
Routine Proceedings
All those opposed to the hon. member’s moving the motion will please say nay. It is agreed. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed to the motion will please say nay. (Motion agreed to)
Government Orders
Pursuant to order made on Tuesday, November 15, the House will now proceed to the consideration of Bill C-32 at the third reading stage.

Routine Proceedings
Is that agreed?
Government Orders
Is that agreed?
Government Orders
Order. The hon. member for Montcalm on a point of order.
Government Orders
I thank the member for his comments. There are three other booths near the lobbies, and there is someone in one of them. The hon. member for Montcalm wishes to add something.
Government Orders
I again thank the member. We will try to resolve this problem. We can do another sound check this evening to ensure that everything is working properly. I am not going to allow the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader to back up and start again, but he could perhaps pick up from the last sentence. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
Is it agreed?
Government Orders
That is debate. I know that maybe some members have not been here for a while, but we have a 10-minute speech and then questions and answers afterward, so there is an opportunity for members to exchange thoughts and comments then.
Government Orders
If we are going to table something, we should have it with us, and of course we need to have consent to do that. I am hearing lots of chatter in the chamber, so I ask that we try to keep it down and have our debate as we normally do. Continuing with questions and comments, the hon. member for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia has the floor.
Government Orders
Does the hon. member have unanimous consent to split his time?
Government Orders
I declare the motion carried. I wish to inform the House that because of the proceedings on the time allocation motion, Government Orders will be extended by 30 minutes.
Government Orders

Government Orders
Order. The hon. member for King—Vaughan has the floor.
Government Orders
As much as I enjoy the energy of the next member, I will have to cut him off in about four minutes. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
Before continuing on debate, I just want to remind folks that a lot of people are trying to get in on asking questions, so the shorter the questions and the shorter the answers, the more people get to participate in this good debate.
Government Orders
It is my duty, pursuant to Standing Order 38, to inform the House that the questions to be raised tonight at the time of adjournment are as follows: the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, Taxation; the hon. member for Shefford, Sports; the hon. member for Nanaimo—Ladysmith, Oil and Gas Industry.
Government Orders
While I am not the arbiter of good questions and good answers, we should make sure that we ask short questions and get short answers so that everybody can participate in this great debate. The hon. member for Jonquière.
