Debates of Nov. 25th, 1996

Canada Elections Act

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

A recorded division on the motion stands deferred.

The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred divisions at the report stage of the bill.

Call in the members.

Before the taking of the vote:

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

The question is on Motion No. 1.

The vote on Motion No. 1 will also apply to Motions Nos. 3, 9, 15 and 18. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 1 obviates the need for a vote on Motions Nos. 2, 4, 10, 14, 16, 17, 19, 26, 27 and 28.

A negative vote on Motion No. 1 requires a vote on MotionNo. 2. The vote on Motion No. 2 will also apply to Motions Nos. 4, 10, 14, 16, 17, 19, 26, 27 and 28.

(The House divided on the motion, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

I declare Motion No. 1 lost. Therefore, I also declare Motions Nos. 3, 9, 15 and 18 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 2. The vote on Motion No. 2 will apply to Motions Nos. 4, 10, 14, 16, 17, 19, 26, 27 and 28.

The question is on Motion No. 2.
