The Speaker Andrew Scheer

I am hearing nays before the member has even finished.

I sense the desire of the House to get on to the deferred recorded divisions. We had tabling of documents earlier today. Perhaps we will go ahead with the vote, and then if the member wants to seek unanimous consent of the House, the House might be in a better mood and may be inclined to grant it.

We will now move on.

The question is on Motion No. 1. A vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 3.

Order. I think that members are getting awfully close to holding up a prop, and I do not think that it suits the House very well. I will ask members to come to order, and we will resume with the vote.
