[André Harvey, Independent, Chicoutimi, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Before proceeding to the motion for concurrence at report stage, I want to make sure that when the government whip asked for the results of the vote on Motions Nos. 1 to 3 to be applied, Progressive Conservative members who voted in favour were recorded as having voted against Motion No. 3 and Motion No. 1.

[The Deputy Speaker]

I can confirm that the members of the Progressive Conservative Party voted in favour of Motion No. 1 and want to continue to vote in favour of Motion No. 3.

I believe the decision of the House was to apply the vote on Motion No. 1 to Motion No. 3. The members of the Progressive Conservative Party voted yea for these two motions. Is that right?

[André Harvey, Independent, Chicoutimi, QC]

Mr. Speaker, because it was a free vote, we had not provided our voting reports earlier. Application of the vote was sought but I want to make sure that the members who voted yea were considered to have voted nay on Motion No. 3 and Motion No. 1. In other words, for the two votes it is nay.

[The Deputy Speaker]

What the hon. member has requested is not quite clear to the Speaker. Some members of his party voted in favour, some opposed Motion No. 1.

The question put by the chief government whip was to apply, I believe, the vote of all members on Motion No. 1 to Motion No. 3. This was unanimously agreed to by the House. Do you want to change that?

[André Harvey, Independent, Chicoutimi, QC]

Mr. Speaker, exactly. Vote No. 1 was applied, but we are also making a correction to the vote on Motion No. 1 by voting no. If it is applied to Motion No. 3, therefore, it is no in both cases.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Unless there is unanimous consent of the House to change the vote, I think the matter is done. Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

There is no consent. The vote is recorded as is and it is done.

[Anne McLellan, Liberal, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada]

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