Orders of the Day - Let the omnifiliblustering begin!

(Oh, and forget about straying too far outside the borders of precinct while the House is in session for the foreseeable future, Conservative backbenchers. With nearly 30 committee reports primed for concurrence debate and the virtually inevitable invoking of time allocation that will eventually ensue, you're confined to quarters -- or, at least, 30-minute-bell distance -- of the House for the next two months. That's one of the few perks of being in opposition, after all: You don't actually have to win votes -- you just have to make members of the governing party show up to defeat you.) 

Before all that gets underway, however, the Commons will suspend regular business in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup, with the Cup itself set to make a brief appearance in the Chamber, escorted by CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon, Football Hall of Famer and former Ottawa Rough Rider Russ Jackson and up-and-coming players Ave Poggione and Bryce Russell.

According to the motion passed yesterday, the festivities will begin immediately after Question Period wraps up, which means that the PM may miss out on the fun: according to a notice from his office, at 3:05 pm, he'll be in the Senate Speaker's Salon, posing for photos with 14 year old Annaleise Carr, who earlier this year became the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario.

Meanwhile, later this morning, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will detail his plan to tighten up the rules for the "largely unregulated prepaid credit card market" during an appearance at a West End community resource centre while back on the Hill, Bank of Canada Mark Carney heads to the National Press Theatre to discuss the latest Monetary Policy Report.

Outside the capital, Treasury Board President Tony Clement talks open data at the World Congress on Information Technology in Montreal.

Finally, later this evening, the Canadian War Museum will serve as venue for the most ambitious event yet to be organized by the newly formed Scottish Society of Ottawa: a $250-per-plate tribute to venerable Conservative campaign strategist Senator Doug Finley, while just a few blocks away, former, current -- and, quite possibly, future -- parliamentarians will converge on the Chateau Laurier for the 8th annual Douglas C. Frith Dinner.
