Questions on the Order Paper

Mr. Lukiwski (Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons) presented the answers to questions Q-204 to Q-207 on the Order Paper.

Business of Supply

The Order was read for the consideration of the Business of Supply.

Mr. Holland (Ajax—Pickering), seconded by Mr. Simms (Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor), moved, — That, in the opinion of the House, while Canadians are justifiably proud of Canada’s upcoming hosting of the G-8 and G-20 summits and determined to provide effective and efficient security for the visiting world leaders, they are outraged at the reckless partisan choices and financial mismanagement that have caused the security budget for the summits to skyrocket to over $1 billion which is more than six times the original budget and more than was spent on security for the 2010 Winter Olympics which lasted for 17 days and therefore the House calls on the government to provide a detailed breakdown to Canadians of how the money earmarked for security is being spent and an explanation of how the security budget was permitted to spiral out of control.

Debate arose thereon.

Statements By Members

Pursuant to Standing Order 31, Members made statements.

Deferred Recorded Divisions

Business of Supply

Pursuant to Order made Friday, May 28, 2010, the House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion of Ms. Duncan (Edmonton—Strathcona), seconded by Ms. Crowder (Nanaimo—Cowichan), — That this House notes the horror with which Canadians observe the ecological disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico and their call for action to prevent such an event in Canada, and therefore calls on the government immediately to conduct a thorough review and revision of all relevant federal laws, regulations and policies regarding the development of unconventional sources of oil and gas, including oil sands, deepwater oil and gas recovery, and shale gas, through a transparent process and the broadest possible consultation with all interested stakeholders to ensure Canada has the strongest environmental and safety rules in the world, and to report to the House for appropriate action.

The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to on the following division:
