Mr. Speaker:

Order, please.

It being 9:45 p.m., it is my duty, pursuant to Section 6 of Standing Order 60, to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith the question necessary to dispose of the amendment to the amendment now before the House.

The question is on the amendment to the amendment. Those in favour of the amendment to the amendment will please say yea.

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.

Friday, December 14, 1979

Mr. Speaker:

This motion can be presented for debate at this time, pursuant to Standing Order 43, only by unanimous consent of the House. Is there unanimous consent?

Mr. Speaker:

Order, please. Before commencing the oral question period, may I point out to members something which they may not have noticed. We are undergoing in the House an experiment with lighting. There has been an installation of lights high in the ceiling on one side, in the hope of being able to relieve the severity of the lighting that is placed lower down. This is experimental only. I should not, I suppose, add that the technicians hope the experiment will last more than one day. In any case, the experiment is there and the technicians have asked me and our colleagues in the House to evaluate this

experiment to see whether it is better than the more severe lighting lower down.

Oral questions.

Mr. Speaker:

The questions enumerated by the hon. parliamentary secretary have been answered. Shall the remaining questions be allowed to stand?
