Le président suppléant (M. Kilger): J'aurais maintenant besoin de l'avis des députés. À ce stade, la présidence pourrait déclarer qu'il est 17 h 30 et passer aux initiatives parlementaires ou elle pourrait suspendre la séance jusqu'à 17 h 30.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger): I wonder if I might ask for some direction from members as to whether the Chair should see the clock as being 5.30 p.m. and pursue private members' hour, or suspend the sitting until 5.30 p.m. Mr. Szabo: Mr. Speaker, it is my private member's Bill C-337 which is due to come forward at 5.30 p.m., but I see the other speakers who were scheduled to be here for 5.30 p.m. have not yet entered the House.
