The Speaker Peter Milliken

There is a difficulty created by the point of order. The chief government whip asked that the vote on the motion last before the House be applied to the motion now before the House. I do not believe there were any votes from one party on that motion.

The chief whip of the Liberal Party has asked that the Liberals vote yea. Do we go back to one where there were votes and count them, or do we recount? Is it agreed that we go back to some previous vote?
