Mr. Gustafson:

If we should be challenged at the polls in just a few minutes, the challenge, the cross-roads that the people of Canada will face is: are you willing to do the right thing right now?

Mr. Speaker:

Order, please. 1 declare the amendment carried.

It being after ten o'clock, this House would ordinarily stand adjourned. 1 have an indication that the right hon. Prime Minister (Mr. Clark) wishes to gain the floor for the purpose of making a brief comment to the House. Since it is after the ordinary hour of adjournment, he could do so only with consent of the House. Is there such consent?

Right Hon. Joe Clark (Prime Minister):

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The government has lost a vote on a matter which we have no alternative but to regard as a question of confidence. I simply want to advise the House that I will be seeing His Excellency the Governor General tomorrow morning.

Mr. Speaker:

Order, please. I have only two very brief things to say. The House will realize, I am sure, that it would have been most inappropriate for me to anticipate this decision in any way. Therefore I have not arranged and have no intention of making any arrangements for any hospitality.

Mr. Speaker:

Hon. members would not have expected me to anticipate any result one way or the other, at least 1 hope so. Therefore, I will not, I repeat, not be in the usual environment after this sort of event.

The second is that this House stands adjourned until eleven o'clock tomorrow morning.

At 10.25 p.m. the House adjourned, without question put, pursuant to Standing Order.
