Vote #481

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Chris d'Entremont]

I declare the motion defeated.

[Andrew Scheer, Conservative, Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I know we are not supposed to reflect on the vote that just took place, and the House generally does not take the same question twice, but if the government does want to avoid a marathon voting session, all it has to do is take the carbon tax off of farmers, families and first nations.

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Chris d'Entremont]

That is not a point of order.
