I wish to advise the member that when I did ask “on division”, I did not hear any no votes.

Madam Speaker, there was a no from one of the members, the member for Timmins—James Bay.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
Clearly, the no was not loud enough to be heard. I did hear “on division”. The vote was carried on division, and therefore the House is proceeding with the orders of the day.
