Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, not too long ago in Parliament, Mr. Pat Martin introduced Private Member's Bill C-203. This bill would amend the Bankruptcy Act to give priority to employee wages and pensions. Earlier this session, I had asked the government if they would consider telling the federal government that we supported the passage of this bill and was assured I would be able to have an answer before the end of session.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Premier, has the government considered Private Member's Bill C-203 and are they prepared to advise the federal government that we support passage of that bill?
