Mr Speaker, when the Prime Minister indicated that Prime Minister Abe and Prime Minister Harper would be visiting and that there would be a joint sitting of the houses on Monday the 10th—Monday is the day of the sitting week when private members’ business is conducted—the sitting scheduled for that day was cancelled. It was listed as a sitting day and then removed from the sitting program. Can you advise the House and honourable members whether or not Monday the 10th will be put back into the program and private members’ business will continue?

I thank the Chief Opposition Whip. As he would be well aware, those decisions remain with the Leader of the House. I suggest that he direct that question to the Leader of the House.
