[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to verify. I am sure the Right Hon. Prime Minister had no intention of having his vote count. He did not rise, he came in late, but I did hear his name in the roster, so I just wanted to verify.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The hon. member for New Westminster—Coquitlam on another point of order.
[Interjection]

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The hon. member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
[Interjection]
Mr. Philip Toone: Mr. Speaker, could we also verify whether the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development was in his seat at the start?

The hon. Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
[Interjection]
Hon. John Duncan: Mr. Speaker, I came in early in the vote, but I should not have voted.

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The three votes in question will be disallowed.
Does the Prime Minister wish to confirm?
[Interjection]
Right Hon. Stephen Harper: Excuse me, Mr. Speaker. I was here the entire time and I can inform the leader of the Green Party that I am here now.
[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I think you confirmed what we all saw. The right hon. Prime Minister entered once the vote had begun and did not attempt to vote and he did not stand to vote. I think it was just a clerical error. I certainly notice when he enters a room. The force of his personality is—
[Interjection]
Hon. Gordon O'Connor: Mr. Speaker, It happens that the Prime Minister sits right in front of me. He was one of the people who yelled no when we were doing the vote. He has been in the whole vote.
[Interjection]
Mr. Yvon Godin: Mr. Speaker, even if it is 8:30 in the morning, members have to stand to vote. The Prime Minister did not stand.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order, please. As members will know, it is common practice of the House to accept what a member says in this regard. The Prime Minister says that he was here. 
What I did see was that when I called all those opposed, the Prime Minister did stand at that point, but was not recognized by the vote caller. The vote caller began with the Minister of State for Transport and by the time the line was at that point, the Prime Minister had sat down.
[Interjection]
Justin Trudeau: Mr. Speaker, I have to admit that I am a little confused. I thought you had said that you had seen the Prime Minister arrive.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order, please. It is the practice of the House that when a member stands to say that he or she was here or not here, if there is any uncertainty, then the benefit of the doubt is given to that member. 
On that basis, the Prime Minister's vote will count. The vote of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance will not count.

Philip Toone: Mr. Speaker, I would ask you to verify whether the members for Langley and Calgary Centre-North were present at the start of the vote.
[Interjection]
Mr. Mark Warawa: Mr. Speaker, I was here for the vote; I was here before the vote; I was here when you called the vote. Maybe the member was sleeping when I was here.
[Interjection]
Philip Toone: Mr. Speaker, we are bound by the Standing Orders. When you rose, Mr. Speaker, the member for Langley was not in the House.
[Interjection]
Yvon Godin: Mr. Speaker, as a matter of fact, we saw this member come in late. If you make a decision to take his word, it will be totally wrong, because he came in late.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Perhaps I will remind all hon. members of the rule, that in order to be eligible to vote, a member must be in his or her seat when the chair puts the question to the House, and through the entire process of voting up until the result is announced.
Having said that, the chair did not see whether the hon. member for Langley was or was not in his seat, and as was ruled earlier, in these cases the chair accepts the statement of the hon. member in question.
The hon. member for Sault Ste. Marie is also rising on a point of order?
[Interjection]
Mr. Bryan Hayes: Mr. Speaker, I just want to ensure that my vote was recognized. I was referred to by the name of the member for Don Valley East. My name was not mentioned.
[Interjection]
Mr. Nathan Cullen: Mr. Speaker, I realize that the hours have been many and that it is a difficult challenge for you to be aware of all members as they are coming and going. A number of our members did watch members come in after the vote started, but as we move forward we will of course take your ruling now to accept their votes because this is your decision.
 However, between you and the table, as we go through the next number of hours I would suggest that it is vigilance once the vote has been called that removes the discretion involved and allows us to have a conversation about who is actually in the House. Otherwise, we will have these constant arguments among members that are unfruitful to the process of voting. 
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The Chair will go back to the hon. member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine. For the second member he referred to, I believe the riding name was incorrect. Could he clarify to which member he was referring?
[Interjection]
Philip Toone: Mr. Speaker, I was referring to the member for Calgary Centre—North. 
Furthermore, I point out that it seems that the member for Sarnia—Lambton has brought a cup of coffee into the room.
[Interjection]
Gordon O'Connor: Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of 159 votes and I have not brought up points of order. People are eating on both sides; they are eating everywhere. It is against the rules, but we have to tolerate it. We have 159 votes to go through.
[Interjection]
Ms. Michelle Rempel: Mr. Speaker, it is very early in the morning. It has been a long night and as I cannot personally recall if I did not sit in my seat at the start of the vote, I would like my vote not to count.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The vote of the member for Langley will be counted. The vote for the member for Calgary Centre-North will not. The vote that was granted to the member for Don Valley East will be corrected to the hon. member for Sault Ste. Marie.
The hon. member for Toronto Centre.
[Interjection]
Bob Rae: Mr. Speaker, since the votes started earlier tonight, I want the Speaker to know that I have had three Werther's hard caramel—

[Interjection]
Nathan Cullen: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, in a previous incarnation of Parliament, when a number of votes were being passed, in that case surrounding the Nisga'a treaty, as members will remember, there was unanimous consent sought by the House, and I believe achieved, in order to see question period at 2 p.m.
There have been consultations among the parties. I am hoping that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to present the following motion:
 That notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practice of the House, the recorded divisions at report stage on Bill C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, shall be temporarily suspended after the division taking place at 2:10 p.m is concluded; that the House immediately proceed to a period of oral questions, pursuant to Standing Order 30; and that no later than 3:00 p.m. today, all proceedings taking place at that time shall be immediately suspended for the House to resume the taking of the deferred recorded divisions at report stage of Bill C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, to allow members of Parliament to put questions to the government of the day.

The hon. member for Toronto Centre is rising on a point of order.
[Interjection]
Bob Rae: Mr. Speaker, I wonder if we could do the election over again.
The Speaker: Order. The table has indicated that there may have been some confusion when the members were standing whether or not they were standing to vote or requesting to be recognized for points of order. As such, because they clearly did not stand when the yeas were being called, their votes will not be counted on this particular vote and we will move on to the next one.
I will hear the hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands very briefly.
[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. I recall not long ago that the hon. member for Fort McMurray—Athabasca stood to correct that he had accidentally voted twice. There was no call for unanimous consent for that to be recorded.

The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands is rising on a point of order.
[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, this is an unusual situation in that we have been voting for very many hours, but I have been holding back on rising on a point of order. There is a very clear violation of our rules occurring and it is occurring relatively constantly. I think it is disrespectful to this place. It is disrespectful to Parliament. It certainly makes a mockery of the notion that we are considering legislation in a sober fashion.
The rule that is being violated is Standing Order 16(1), which states:
 When the Speaker is putting a question, no Member shall enter, walk out of or across the House, or make any noise or disturbance. 
 This is further clarified in O'Brien and Bosc, on page 639, under the heading “Decorum During the Taking of a Vote”. It indicates that no member is to make any noise or disturbance.
 I understand the Conservatives have made a habit of wild cheering on every vote, but it violates the rules and it is—
[Intervention]
Some hon. members:  Oh, oh!
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order. The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands does point out one of the Standing Orders of this place, that members are to remain in their seats during the vote. Having said that, I realize that some members are attending some votes and leaving the chamber for others. I would certainly encourage all members to do so as quickly and quietly as possible.
In terms of the general noise in this place, there is often healthy discussion going on within the chamber while proceedings take place. The Chair would certainly appreciate the co-operation of all hon. members in terms of respecting one another. The members might proceed with due haste so that we are not wasting the time of this place to put these matters before the House. I would encourage all hon. members to regard this practice.
Is the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands rising on the same point of order?
[Interjection]
Mr. Ted Hsu: Yes, Mr. Speaker. I think there is a difference in standing up and cheering about something one of our hon. colleagues has said. However, it is somewhat disrespectful of the voting process to make a regular habit of applauding at the beginning of each round of voting. I think there is a difference and that the Standing Orders--
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order. I think there is a common practice in this place that the Speaker manages the level of background noise in the chamber. There are certainly times when the chamber is very animated. I would encourage all hon. members not to do anything that would slow the proceedings of this House so that we can proceed with due haste and deal with the matters before the chamber.

On a point of order, the hon. Minister of Natural Resources.
[Interjection]
Hon. Joe Oliver: Madam Speaker, it is with some regret that I have to inform you that two members opposite, during the cheering when our side was about to vote, used a Nazi salute pointed in the direction of the Prime Minister. I cannot believe they really intended the full implications of that and so I will not mention who they are. This is intolerable behaviour and it should never happen again.
The Deputy Speaker: Order, please. Order, please. On the same point of order, the hon. member for Bourassa.
[Interjection]
Denis Coderre: Madam Speaker, this is unacceptable. I made no such gesture, and I do not want the entire opposition being accused of such a thing. People need to take responsibility for their actions; I had nothing to do with this.
[Interjection]
André Bellavance: Madam Speaker, I agree completely with the Minister of Natural Resources and the member for Bourassa. However, I do not think that the members of the House understood what my colleague from Bourassa was trying to say.
By not identifying the individuals, perhaps the minister was trying to make the point that it should not happen again. All the opposition parties are being accused. What the member for Bourassa is asking—and I would make the same request—is that the people who made the gesture have the decency to rise here and apologize, and explain their actions.
[Intervention]
An hon. member:  The minister should name names.
[Interjection]
Hon. Wayne Easter: Madam Speaker, there was no Nazi salute given here. We went like this. We said that the way they are applauding the Prime Minister every time, they should salute him.
The Deputy Speaker: The hon. minister was offended by what he perceived as a gesture that was very offensive to all of us. Now there has been an explanation that it was not the intent. I did not observe that gesture and so we should move on. However, we recognize that this would be offensive to all of us.

Vote #419
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): I declare Motion No. 764 defeated.
The question is on Motion No. 765. 
[Interjection]
Mr. Bernard Trottier: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. It appears the member for Papineau voted and has since left the chamber, so his vote should not count on this one.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): First, I would ask that all hon. members, if they have a point to raise regarding the vote, wait until after the results are announced to do so.
Second, it is evident that the member for Papineau is not in the chamber and therefore I would instruct the Table not to count his vote if it did so.
[Interjection]
Gordon O'Connor: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I have a proposal. We have more than 20 votes left. We know the outcome of each vote. I would recommend that we pass these on division if the other parties are agreed.
[Intervention]
Some hon. members:  Oh, oh!
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order, order. Before I go to the opposition House leader, I would like to complete the vote that is before the House.

Vote #420
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): I declare Motion No. 765 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 766 to 781 also defeated.
[Interjection]
Nathan Cullen: Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order. I thank the Chief Government Whip for the offer. I know it came under some good advisement from the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The suggestion might work better for the opposition if it were combined with a unanimous resolution to then immediately move to question period, in which we could then put the government to account, an offer we made to the government before. We could consider such a motion, if given some time for that consideration.
Otherwise, I think we should continue with the process that we have before us.
[Interjection]
Mr. Marc Garneau: Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. We are prepared to discuss what the chief whip is proposing, if he is prepared to split the bill. We have said that since the beginning.

Gordon O'Connor: Mr. Speaker, what I am prepared for is a defeat on division. That is what I want.
[Intervention]
An hon. member:  Or we will do it the slow way.
[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. We had attempted, at least on my part and I know the other opposition parties and certainly the official opposition made many attempts, to negotiate. I will make one attempt at least for my willingness to give unanimous consent for this--
[Intervention]
Some hon. members:  Oh, oh!
Elizabeth May:  Are members interested in finding out how--
[Intervention]
An hon. member:  No.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Order. The hon. member for Saanich--Gulf Islands can complete her comments.
[Interjection]
Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I must then conclude that the suggestion of any kind of co-operation at this stage was a bad faith offer. I had an offer but I do not think it is welcome.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): Does the Chief Government Whip have unanimous consent for his motion?

[Interjection]
Denis Coderre: Mr. Speaker, first I would like to congratulate the Minister of Industry and the Minister of State for Finance, who arrived while we were voting. The member for Mississauga South did the same thing and she voted. I am therefore asking that her vote be withdrawn.
[Interjection]
Mrs. Stella Ambler: Mr. Speaker, the member opposite is correct. I did come in after the vote. I should not have voted. Please do not count my vote.
[Interjection]
Denis Coderre: Mr. Speaker, I apologize. I spoke about the Minister of Industry earlier when I really meant the President of the Treasury Board. I would like to congratulate him anyway.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The record will be corrected to remove the vote from the hon. member for Mississauga South.
The Chair would like to inform the House that we have 20 motions left to go and I am confident that with the co-operation of all hon. members we will be out of here in no time.

Adjournment Proceedings
[Stage Direction]
A motion to adjourn the House under Standing Order 38 deemed to have been moved. 
Ms. Christine Moore (Abitibi—Témiscamingue, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to participate in the late show today because today's situation is rather unusual. We voted 159 times on a bill. We voted on 871 amendments grouped into 158 votes. Not a single amendment passed.
The government has shown that it is incapable of admitting that it does not have all the answers. It thinks it is perfect. It thinks that it can do no wrong and that it cannot have forgotten anything. That shows a real lack of maturity. 
When I started working as a nurse, I learned that I was not perfect, that it was possible for me to make mistakes and that the worst thing to do after making a mistake is to continue on in the same fashion.
The same thing is true when it comes to the F-35s. The government refused to correct its mistake. It was unable to admit, at various stages along the way, that it should perhaps consider what the opposition was saying, that those arguments perhaps made sense. But no, the government continued being stubborn.
This is a big mess. Many questions about military procurement remain unanswered. Now, with the National Fighter Procurement Secretariat, when we ask questions, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services tells us that no money has been spent yet.
I would like to remind her that the mismanagement of the F-35 program has cost money. People have worked on this file and that costs money. Of course, the money spent so far pales in comparison to the enormous cost of an F-35, but I am sure that many Canadians would love to make ends meet with the money that has been invested in this mismanagement.
I would like to point out that it is not just the Conservatives' defence plan that is flawed. Before the Minister of National Defence even announced the F-35 procurement in June 2010, he already knew that the numbers the government was using were not correct. The Minister of National Defence and the Associate Minister of National Defencehad informed us one month earlier that the costs would go up. The ministers were updated in April 2011 and in February 2012, but until the Auditor General forced them to take a modicum of responsibility, it did not occur to anyone to notify the public or even rethink this whole plan.
The opposition rose and asked questions, and asked whether there was a plan B. Every time, the government absolutely did not listen, and it became more mired in the problem.
I would like to know if the government will understand one day that the opposition's role is not just to criticize. The opposition provides arguments to help advance issues. It advances arguments to prevent such problems with oversight of very significant military procurement from happening again.
I would like to know whether the government realizes this and if it understands that the opposition is trying to help it with a program that seems to be going awry. Furthermore, I would like to know if the government now knows in what direction it is headed.
Mr. Chris Alexander (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence, CPC): Mr. Speaker, it is truly a great privilege to be here with you and my hon. colleague on this historic evening to talk about one of this government's important priorities. 
However, the opposition does not agree, once again, with our program to replace the CF-18s, which have served the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canada very well. The opposition says that it is the wrong program. It is not apologizing for keeping us here all night to vote on the extensive budget we have just passed and that we have worked so hard on.
I would like to insist on the fact that Wednesday, June 13, which is still under way in the House, is a historic day for the program to replace the CF-18 jets. Our government is keeping its promises with today's announcement of the creation of a National Fighter Procurement Secretariat for Canada.
It is great to be able to have this opportunity. We made this promise a couple of months ago. It has taken time to assembly the right people, the right outside expertise, including a former Auditor General of Canada who is joining the team on the secretariat, as well as all the relevant departments. It has taken time to make sure that we are actually hitting the standards that we know we can hit in the Government of Canada and that we have hit before in military procurement for the national shipbuilding program.
As the member well knows, we have been a partner in the joint strike fighter program since 1997. That has brought enormous benefits to Canada. The member's leader disagrees and does not think there are jobs flowing from this program. There are. We will continue to show it and prove it. Canadians know it.
In 2008, the Government of Canada announced its intent to replace the CF-18 fleet with next generation fighter capability. That was part of the Canada first defence strategy. In July 2010, we announced our intent to acquire the F-35 aircraft. We do not apologize for any of that. It is history. It is part of our policy. It is part of our program to replace the CF-18, which has been going on under two governments for over a decade.
The Auditor General's report of this spring is also history. Its recommendation was important. We accept it. We accept the conclusions. That is why we are going beyond that, by not only agreeing to put forward full life-cycle costs but also establishing a seven-point plan which this secretariat will oversee.
In conclusion, let me just emphasize the role of this secretariat.
The secretariat will be responsible for reviewing, monitoring and coordinating the implementation of the government's seven-point action plan. There will be key roles with respect to transparency, impartiality and reports to Parliament and to the public. The secretariat's initial overall costs will be available in the fall. The secretariat will provide the due diligence that Canada deserves and that the government is responsible for delivering in such cases.
[Interjection]
Christine Moore: Mr. Speaker, I find it ironic that the parliamentary secretary is trumpeting the Minister of Public Works and Government Services' seven-point plan when the government does not seem to have much respect for the newly created secretariat or the plan. 
A few days ago, I asked the minister why the cost updates will not be released 60 days after the forecasts, as stated in the third point of the plan. The government is already breaking promises. Now we are being told to wait until the fall. That was in May, so the cost updates ought to be available in early July. That is their plan, but they cannot even stick to it.
We have also been told that nothing has been purchased, that no decision has been made, but the minister had no problem spending $50,000 for a photo op with the F-35s, which, really, have not even been selected yet, because there is no commitment and nothing has been done.
Is that not a little ironic? We are no farther ahead than we were before.
[Interjection]
Chris Alexander: Mr. Speaker, as my hon. colleague is fully aware, the whole question of costs is absolutely the central issue in determining what aircraft will replace the CF-18. The process of estimating the total cost of the entire life cycle of the aircraft that will replace the CF-18 needs to carried out very carefully and very thoroughly.
That is why we cannot complete it this spring. We made a promise to Canadians here in this House that we would independently verify all costs. That cannot be done overnight. It will take a few months. Based on the advice and expertise of our public officials, we have determined that we will have a better answer in the fall.
I will be more than happy to discuss the matter further with the hon. member in a few months' time.
Air CanadaMr. Mike Sullivan (York South—Weston, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the government that it was almost exactly a year ago next week that we sat in this same chamber debating and voting on the return to work of Canada Post. That began a trend by the government toward a system of labour relations that was designed to favour the employers and designed to signal to employers that the current government will intervene in every major labour dispute that threatens on the horizon. 
The end result of that is bad labour relations in this country and a bad precedent. We only have to look as far back as a couple of weeks ago when we ended up debating the return to work of the CP workers, the latest in a long string of government interferences in private sector bargaining.
The government has no business interfering directly in private sector bargaining. The bargaining regime in this country is one of free collective bargaining, one without government interference, yet here we have a string of interferences by the government that signal to these major employers that the government is going to rescue them.
I was a bargainer for well over 30 years. I know that the parties have to work these things out with the fear of a strike or a lockout hurting both sides. 
However, in the case of Canada Post, three times with Air Canada and now with CP, the government has decided to tell the employer—not the employees, but the employer—that it will bail them out. 
There is no fear. They do not have to fear collective bargaining any more. They do not have to fear the outcome. The government will take sides, as it has done with Air Canada and as it did with Canada Post. The government is in a position of having undermined the very foundation of our free collective bargaining system, which was one based upon both sides working toward a deadline. It was the fear of what the consequences of that deadline would be that would drive them to a collective agreement. I have done it many times, and that is exactly what happens.
That is not the case any more, not if it is Air Canada, not if it is Canada Post, not if it is CP—and who knows what other employers are going to come forward after this latest in a string? The current government has signalled to the parties not to worry, that it will intervene, that it will take sides. Why would any management want to settle when that is the case? Why would any management want to put its trust in its collective bargaining when it knows the government will intervene? 
That is not how the Canadian system works.
We have had a situation with Air Canada, which was the subject of my question originally, whereby the government's position was that it acted in the public's interest and for safety. However, since the government's intervention, we have had interruptions in service as a result of the upset of the employees. As well, as the result of the loss of Aveos, we now have pieces of airplanes falling out of the sky in Mississauga, as a result, we think, perhaps, of the maintenance situation at Air Canada, which in turn goes back to this collective bargaining process and in turn goes back to the fact that the employees were not permitted to bargain as to how that Aveos deal was to shake down.
My question is this: will the government finally stop interfering in free collective bargaining in this country?
Ms. Kellie Leitch (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour, CPC): Mr. Speaker, this is an historic evening. The government was successful in passing Bill C-38, an important piece of legislation for the Canadian economy, creating jobs and long-term prosperity for the country.
The member opposite accuses the government of reckless meddling in the Air Canada negotiations. With all due respect, if the hon. member had been paying attention during the debates over Air Canada, he would know that we went over the long process of conciliation and mediation that we went through with Air Canada in great detail. 
We conscientiously and methodically followed the steps set out in the Canada Labour Code. This took time and effort. We exhausted all other avenues before we considered pre-emptive legislation to avert a work stoppage.
 There was nothing reckless about our decision to bring forward Bill C-33. As we said many times, it was a last resort. We moved forward because putting forward this legislation meant protecting Canadian jobs and protecting Canadian citizens.
In the debates over Bill C-33, we presented this to the House with our projection of how costly a work stoppage at Air Canada would be, not just to the companies and unions but also to our economy.
We talked about the impact upon the travelling public, especially to families who depend upon Air Canada and do not have access to alternative carriers. We reminded the House that many Canadians were not parties to this labour dispute and that they would not have any way of affecting the outcome but would suffer the consequences of a work stoppage.
When we used this legislation to prevent a work stoppage at Air Canada, I know we did the right thing for Canadians by ensuring we were protecting air services, protecting jobs and protecting the Canadian economy. 
Given all the risks associated with this situation, it would have been reckless not to bring forward Bill C-33.
[Interjection]
Mike Sullivan: Mr. Speaker, yes this is a historic night. It is yet another chapter in the anti-worker agenda of the government.
We have EI legislation which will now force people who are on EI, including those Aveos workers, to take jobs at a 30% reduction in their salary when they come off EI, which is an attack on their standard of living. 
We have a situation where, through the immigration system, employers, including airlines, are free to hire temporary foreign workers, and there are airlines in this country doing it. This will undermine the value of the workforce of that airline by 15%. The government has now decided that employers can bring in temporary foreign workers at a 15% reduction. That is happening now in the airline industry.
My question again is, when will the government realize its mistakes and stop attacking the workers of this country?
[Interjection]
Kellie Leitch: Mr. Speaker, the hon. member had asked in his original question about whether our economy is weak or strong. I think it is accurate to say that our economy is recovering. It is getting stronger, and a work stoppage at Air Canada would have interfered with that recovery.
As we said numerous times about the work stoppage, not only would it have an impact on families, but the cost to our economy would have been in the range of about $22.4 million a week. This was completely unacceptable. Would an economy that was stronger be able to handle this impact? I am glad we never had to find out.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Barry Devolin): The motion to adjourn the House is now deemed to have been adopted. Accordingly, this House stands adjourned until tomorrow at 10 a.m., pursuant to an order made on Monday, June 11, 2012 and Standing Order 24(1).
