Mr. Speaker, the member for Calgary Forest Lawn voted but unfortunately left before hearing the results of the vote. I believe his vote should not be counted.

I believe that is the case.

I want to remind members they have to remain in their seats until the result of the vote is announced, and not leave prior to that, or else their vote cannot count.
