In adjourning the House I thank my colleagues, from both sides of the House, for their forbearance in remaining today. There are not as many members of the opposition, but certainly there are members of the government here in huge numbers to support the minister and the government. I also thank the Senate for not sitting this morning or we would still be here past this time. In wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year—you particularly, Madam Speaker—I move:

That the House do now adjourn.

Question agreed to.

House adjourned at 08:12

The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Hon. BC Scott ) took the chair at 9:31.
