Mr. Speaker

By leave of the House, I shall put together the six questions on the motions relating to statutory instruments.

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Speaker

I believe that it is No. 5 to which hon. Gentlemen seek to object. Perhaps by leave of the House I may put the first four together, unless there is an objection.

The Question is, That the four instruments be referred to a Standing Committee on Statutory Instruments.
