Weekly statement - February 05, 2026

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

This afternoon we will continue with debate on the opposition motion brought forward by the Bloc Québécois.

Tomorrow, we will have the debate on the Standing Orders and procedure pursuant to Standing Order 51, a very hotly awaited moment in the parliamentary calendar.

On Monday of next week, we will call Bill C-10, an act respecting the commissioner for modern treaty implementation, at second reading.

I would also like to inform all hon. members that next Tuesday and Thursday shall be allotted days.

On Wednesday, we will begin second reading of Bill C-20, an act respecting the establishment of Build Canada Homes, tabled earlier this morning by my hon. colleague, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada.

Finally, there have been discussions among the parties, and if you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion:

That, notwithstanding any standing order or usual practice of the House, at the conclusion of Oral Questions on Friday, February 6, 2026, the House observe a moment of silence for the late Honourable Kirsty Duncan, and that afterwards, a member of each of the recognized parties, a member of the New Democratic Party and the member of the Green Party each be permitted to make a statement for no more than five minutes to pay tribute, and that the time taken for these proceedings shall be added to the time provided for Government Orders.
