Mr. Charles A. Langlois (Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and to Minister of National Defence):

Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 41 petitions.

[Editor's Note: See today's Votes and Preceedings.]

Mr. Bob Hicks (Scarborough East):

Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 34, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the 18th report of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association concerning the NAA annual standing committee meeting which was held in Portugal from March 26 to 28, 1993.

Mr. Doug Fee (Red Deer):

Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the report of the legislative committee on Bill C-103, an act to provide for the repeal of the Land Titles Act and to amend other acts in relation thereto, with one amendment.

Mr. Charles A. Langlois (Parlamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and to Minister of National Defence):

Madam Speaker, I have the honor to present the 89th report of the Standing Committee on House Management, concerning the members at large to serve on committees in the Departmental envelope.

With leave of the House, I intend to move for concurrence in this report later this day.

[Editor's Note: See today's Votes and Proceedings.]

Mr. Charles A. Langlois (Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and to Minister of National Defence):

Madam Speaker, with leave of the House, I move:

That the 89th report of the Standing Committee on House

Management, tabled earlier today, be concurred in.

Madam Deputy Speaker:

Does the hon. parliamentary secretary have unanimous consent to put the motion?

Mr. Dingwall:

Madam Speaker, in view of what has transpired on previous occasions I wonder if the parliamentary secretary would just give a brief description of the contents of the report as he did yesterday with regard to the 88th report.

April 29, 1993

Routine Proceedings

Mr. Langlois:

With great pleasure, Madam Speaker. The 89th report of the House Management Committee recommends changes to the list of members at large to serve on committees in the Departmental envelope. In a few moments the Clerk will read the changes proposed in this 89th report.

Madam Deputy Speaker:

If consent is given and since the report has been presented, I will ask the clerk at the table to please read the text of the report so that members may know its contents. I will then put the question on the motion.

Mr. Ronald J. Duhamel (St. Boniface):

Madam Speaker, in this first instance I have petitioners who ask the government to remove the GST on books and learning materials. They point out that it has hurt students, artists, publishers and the industry generally. They also point out that it does not contribute to increased productivity of our society in general. The petitioners feel it is counterproductive to the development of Canadian society.

Mr. Ronald J. Duhamel (St. Boniface):

Madam Speaker, in this other petition the petitioners ask Parliament to ensure that the CRTC carefully regulates the use of foul language in radio and television programming.

The petitioners also ask that the whole aspect of violence be examined carefully. They point out that it is not necessary to do that in order to entertain or inform, whether it be in English, French or any other language.

In the latter case, I have petitioners who are asking Parliament to ensure that proper language is used on radio and television. They also ask Parliament to ensure that acts of violence are not allowed on radio and

television because they say it often goes against what they are trying to do in raising their families.
