Mr. Speaker, I think you might find a disposition in the House that we would forgo the ringing of the bells and that we could take the vote immediately on ways and means Motion No. 20, and subsequent to that vote on ways and means Motion No. 20, that the vote originally deferred to the end of Government Orders later this day on the matter of Bill C-27 would also be dealt with immediately following the vote on the ways and means motion.

Mr. Speaker, there were quite a few things involved in that motion, most of which Reformers agreed with. What we did not agree with was the application of the votes. When we vote, one

vote and not proceeding with the bells was good but we do not want to apply the vote at this time.

What we have agreement on is that we will not ring the bells, that we will call the vote now and that the vote will be a recorded vote, as we usually do it. Is that agreed?
