Greetings All. Even though shown on the House of Commons Projected Order of Business for today (Monday), Bill S-13 received no further debate. All available time was taken up by debate on Bill C-46, which has not yet been completed. Bill S-13 does not yet appear on the Projected Order of Business for the rest of the week. While not addressed directly, one MP speaking on Bill C-46 made a comment indicating the possibility that the current Session of Parliament would be concluded this coming Friday. It was not clear whether that would be by proroquing or simply by recessing of parliament. There was also a comment indicating that should a Federal election be called by the new Prime Minister, because of clauses in the Elections Act it could not take place before April 2004. I believe that has to do with realignment of electoral districts to accomodate increased MP representations due because of population increases reflected in the 2001 Census. We will keep you advised of any further developments. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
