Library and Archives of Canada Act

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find consent in the House that those who voted on the previous motion be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House, with the Liberals voting no.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this fashion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

(The House divided on Motion No. 12, which was negatived on the following division)

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)]

I declare Motion No. 12 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 17.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find unanimous consent in the House that the vote on the previous motion be applied to Motion No. 20, exactly as it occurred.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

(The House divided on Motion No. 20, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)]

I declare Motion No. 20 lost.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I believe now that we have disposed of Motion No. 20, we can deal with Motion No. 17. I think that you would find consent that those who voted on the previous two motions be recorded as voting on this motion now before the House with the Liberal members voting no, with the exception of the member for Burin—St. George's and the member for Labrador.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Bélair)]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Ken Epp, Canadian Alliance, Elk Island, AB]

Mr. Speaker, when the whip for the Liberal Party stood, she mentioned two members who were not to be included in the votes. I think it might help the clerks at the table if it were ascertained whether they were abstaining or voting opposite.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I am informed that the member for Burin—St. George's and the member for Labrador wish to vote yes on the amendment.
