Mr. Praznik: Madam Speaker, my apologies to the member for Gimli (Mr. Helwer). I misunderstood on his calling of committees; I can appreciate that he was not making changes on committees that I am about to call.
I would like to just reconfirm: I understand that there are two committees that have been called for this evening already, and I understand that two committees have been called for tomorrow, Law Amendments and Public Utilities and Natural Resources, to sit between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
I would also like to announce that for Saturday, the 2nd of November, the Standing Committee on Public Utilities and Natural Resources shall sit between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to continue hearing presentations on Bill 67.
As well, the Standing Committee on Law Amendments will sit from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to continue hearing or dealing with Bills 32, 48 and 72.
I also wish to announce that on Monday, November 4, I believe, if that is the correct date, the Standing Committee on Public Utilities and Natural Resources will sit between 9 a.m. and noon to continue dealing with Bill 67 presenters, if required.
The Standing Committee on Law Amendments will sit also between 9 a.m. and noon to consider the following bills: Bills 4, 55, 59, 61, 75, and 76. I understand those bills have a very limited number of presenters, and that is why the number of bills are being called for that particular committee.
I would also announce today, as well, in the interests of giving proper notice to presenters, that the Standing Committee on Law Amendments will sit beginning at 6:30 p.m., on Monday evening, the 4th of November, to give consideration to Bills 58 and 57, and this committee is being called today in order to ensure that presenters can properly be accommodated and have sufficient notice.
I would ask as well, Madam Speaker, if you could call the following bills in this order, Bills 63, 17 and 41, for continuation of debate on second readings, and there may be some willingness to waive private members' hour. That might be dealt with later on in the afternoon. There may be other announcements. Thank you.
Madam Speaker: Is there leave to waive private members' hour?
An Honourable Member: No.
Madam Speaker: No? Okay.
