"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, I will not interfere in the correspondence between those who have and those who have not been working over recent weeks.</p>\n<p>This afternoon we will return to the second reading of <a href=\"/bills/558/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Income Tax Act (political financing)\">Bill C-24</a>, the elections finance bill. We would then call <a href=\"/bills/554/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (protection of children and other vulnerable persons) and the Canada Evidence Act\">Bill C-20</a>, the child protection bill. We would then move to <a href=\"/bills/557/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act respecting the registration of information relating to sex offenders, to amend the Criminal Code and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">Bill C-23</a> respecting a registry for certain offenders. I understand that there would be an interest on the part of some hon. members that after the initial speech by the parliamentary secretary we would adjourn the debate for the convenience of some members.</p>\n<p>Tomorrow we will deal with <a href=\"/bills/547/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act respecting assisted human reproduction\">Bill C-13</a> respecting reproductive technologies. I am still uncertain about one additional item, mainly that of the Senate amendments to <a href=\"/bills/546/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to promote physical activity and sport\">Bill C-12</a>, the sports bill. I will get back to hon. members later to see if we can deal with this item tomorrow, but that is still uncertain at this time.</p>\n<p>Monday shall be an allotted day. On Tuesday and Wednesday we shall resume the budget debate.</p>\n<p>Thursday and Friday of next week will be on legislation that we have before us. I will be speaking with House leaders early in the week to adjust that in view of the tremendous progress made on legislation this day to which the hon. House leader of the opposition in the House referred to earlier.</p>\n<p>I wish to conclude by thanking all hon. members for the progress on legislation so far this day.</p>",
