Private Members' Business

Again, as I indicated to the other hon. member, I appreciate the intervention and I hope that the parliamentary secretary will do so forthwith so that the Speaker would be able to make a determination to the House. I do not see any members of the Bloc Québécois rising. I would imagine that the Bloc members listened to the speeches in the House. I hope to share my ruling with the House soon.
