Hon. Steven MacKinnon (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, Lib.): 

This afternoon, we will continue with the fourth day of debate at second reading of Bill C-12, concerning the security of Canada's borders and the integrity of the Canadian immigration system.

Tomorrow and Monday, we will debate Bill C-3, which would amend the Citizenship Act, at report stage. Our hope is to deal with third reading of this bill on Wednesday of next week.

Next Tuesday, we will call Bill C-13, an act to implement the protocol on the accession of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was introduced by the Minister of International Trade earlier this week.
