The recorded division on the motion stands deferred.

The next question is on Motion No. 71. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We had a list provided to us by the Speaker yesterday which had the motions in order. According to my reckoning we have missed Motions Nos. 53 and 61. In this last vote I do not even know which motion we were on. Are we doing every second one? How is it being done?

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)

I was on Motion No. 71 to start with. I am told that in Group No. 4 this motion has been revised.

Mr. Speaker, is this not the same chart we were given yesterday? What order are you doing it in? It would be helpful if you would call out the number.

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)

That was Motion No. 71.

Just to clarify, at this point in time we have dealt with the amendment to Motion No. 52--

I am told that we cannot do Motion No. 52 unless we deal with the amendment first. We have done Motions Nos. 53, 55, 61, 64 and we have just done--

Mr. Speaker, I just want to follow on the point of order raised by my hon. friend from Oakville by pointing out that I and other members with whom I have consulted are not at all clear what the last motion was that was put to the House.

I submit that on that motion at least the vote ought to be retaken, given the confusion at the table and with the Chair.

Judy Wasylycia-Leis NDP Winnipeg North Centre, MB

Mr. Speaker, my point of order pertains to your understanding of Motion No. 71, which you indicated has been heard and voted on. First, there was confusion as to whether that motion had been put. Second, there were five members in the House who rose from all corners that you may not have seen. Therefore, I ask for a reconsideration of the placement of Motion No. 71.
