Civil Air Navigation Services Commercialization Act

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

It being 6.30 p.m., the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred divisions at the report stage and second reading of Bill C-20, an act respecting the commercialization of civil air navigation services.

Call in the members.

Before the taking of the vote:

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

The question is on Motion No. l. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 2 and 3.

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

I declare Motion No. 1 lost. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 2 and 3 also lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 4. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 5 to 12, and 16 to 24.

[Don Boudria, Liberal, Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON]

Madam Speaker, if you were to seek unanimous consent, I believe the House would be disposed to taking the vote on Motion No. 1 and applying it to Motions No. 4 and 15.

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

Is that agreed?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

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

I declare Motions Nos. 4 and 15 lost. Consequently, Motions Nos. 5 to 12 and 16 to 24 are also lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 25. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 25 obviates the necessity of putting the question on Motion No. 26. A negative vote on Motion No. 25 necessitates the question being put on Motion No. 26.

[Don Boudria, Liberal, Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON]

Madam Speaker, if you were to seek it I believe you would find unanimous consent that all hon. members who voted on the previous motion be deemed to have voted on the motion now before the House with Liberal members being recorded as voting yea.

[Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral, Bloc, Laval Centre, QC]

Madam Speaker, the members of the official opposition will be voting nay.

[Chuck Strahl, Reform, Fraser Valley East, BC]

Madam Speaker, Reform Party members present will be voting no on this motion.

[John Solomon, NDP, Regina—Lumsden, SK]

Madam Speaker, as whip of the New Democratic Party caucus, NDP members present in the House today vote yea on Motion No. 25.

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

I declare Motion No. 25 carried.

[David Anderson, Liberal, Minister of Transport]

moved that the bill, as amended, be concurred in.

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

Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

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

All those in favour of the motion will please say yea.

In my opinion the yeas have it.

[Don Boudria, Liberal, Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON]
