Mr. Speaker, it is that time of the week when CPAC ratings skyrocket: the Thursday question. This being the first Thursday back, I would like to welcome my counterpart, who was the House leader for a while. I see he is going to be answering today. He now has a different portfolio, but I know one of the things he misses most about his previous role is the Thursday question, so I am glad to see him have an opportunity to answer it again today. We already know a little bit about what might come next week, but I would like to know whether the government could inform the House officially what will be the business of the House for the rest of this week and for next week as well.

Hon. Mark Holland (Minister of Health, Lib.)
Yes, Madam Speaker, by popular demand, I am back. I really missed these exchanges. Some of our great moments are on Thursdays, not just for CPAC viewers, but also for you and me personally, I know. Therefore it is wonderful to exchange and wonderful to be back. I want to wish members a good return. I hope everybody had a productive and happy time with their families and their constituents in their ridings. This afternoon, we will resume second reading debate of Bill C-66, the military justice system modernization act. Tomorrow, we will begin the report stage debate of Bill C-33, the strengthening the port system and railway safety in Canada act. On Monday, we will begin second reading debate of Bill C-63, the online harms act. Madam Speaker, you will be very happy to know that next Wednesday we will also be resuming second reading debate of Bill C-71, which would amend the Citizenship Act. I would also like to take the opportunity to inform the House that both next Tuesday and next Thursday shall be allotted days. Furthermore, on Monday, the Minister of Finance will table a ways and means motion on capital gains taxation that incorporates the feedback received during consultations over the summer. The vote will take place on Wednesday of next week during Government Orders.
