Debates of Nov. 21st, 2006

Federal Accountability Act

[Jay Hill, Conservative, Prince George—Peace River, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There have been discussions among all the parties and I think if you were to seek it, you would find unanimous consent to apply the results of the vote just taken on the motion previously before the House to this motion, with Conservative members voting yes.

[The Speaker, Liberal, Peter Milliken]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this fashion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

The hon. chief opposition whip.

Mr. Speaker, the members of the Bloc Québécois will vote in favour of this motion. I ask that you add the name of the hon. member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, who is now in the House.

[Yvon Godin, NDP, Acadie—Bathurst, NB]

Mr. Speaker, the members of the NDP will vote against this motion.
