After QP wraps up, the government will invoke closure on the motionto allocate just 3.5 hours of debate on the back-to-worklegislation itself, which will be followed by 30 minutes forquestions and comments, a 30 minute bell and a vote. Once that's been ticked off the to-do list, the Chamber will resumedebate on the time allocation motion itself, which will carry onuntil 8pm -- with a one-hour break for private members'business/dinner/dog-walking -- at which point there will be another30 minute bell and vote before the back-to-work bill -- C-39, thatis -- can be brought forward, and the real marathon begins. How long will that take? As is so often the case when it comes toparliamentary business, that depends. Although the time allocation motion imposes a rigid schedule on thelength of the various stages of debate -- two hours for secondreading, one hour for Committee of the Whole (CotW) and 30 minutesfor third reading -- when it comes to votes, including votes on anyamendments that are proposed during CotW, the clock stops. Unless the House agrees to apply results -- which requiresunanimous consent, and as such, seems unlikely to occur -- thatmeans a standing vote for each amendment, as well the 19 clauses inthe bill itself. Depending on how quickly MPs stand up to becounted during the roll call, that will take between 7 and 10minutes per vote. Once CotW has wound down, the Chamber will hit the final lap --third reading, which means one more hour of debate -- before onelast 30 minute bell and a final vote. After that, everyone gets togo home to bed -- or, depending on exactly what time it is, caucus.Or breakfast. Do they serve breakfast at caucus? They really shouldon days like this. In any case, I'll be following -- and liveblogging -- tonight'sevents from start to finish, although depending on how late itgoes, I may alternate between live and remote viewing via ParlVu,depending on which seems more conducive to comprehensive, coherentand colourful coverage.
