Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question, which is an important one. This is such a busy time for the House of Commons. Tomorrow, we will deal with third reading of Bill C-13, an act for the substantive equality of Canada's official languages. On Monday, we will resume report stage debate of Bill S-5, which would amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. On Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, we will be dealing with report stage and third reading of Bill C-21, which, as we know, is the firearms legislation. Thursday, May 18, will be an allotted day. Finally, pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), I would like to designate Monday, May 15, for the consideration in a committee of the whole for all votes under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
