Sorry, Mr. Speaker, I do not. I was trying to get a bit of clarification on the process.

In committee (Senate), as of June 28, 2021
(This bill did not become law.)
This is from the published bill.
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to, among other things, create the following offences:
(a) causing a person to undergo conversion therapy without the person’s consent;
(b) causing a child to undergo conversion therapy;
(c) doing anything for the purpose of removing a child from Canada with the intention that the child undergo conversion therapy outside Canada;
(d) promoting or advertising an offer to provide conversion therapy; and
(e) receiving a financial or other material benefit from the provision of conversion therapy.
It also amends the Criminal Code to authorize courts to order that advertisements for conversion therapy be disposed of or deleted.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.

Sorry, Mr. Speaker, I do not. I was trying to get a bit of clarification on the process.
The Deputy Speaker Bruce Stanton
I thank the member for that. That is perfectly fine to do if members are unsure. It is good to check in and we are happy to get it clarified.
The question is on the motion.
As members will know, if a member present wishes to request a recorded division or request that the motion be adopted on division, I invite the member to rise in his or her place and that would signify a recorded division.
And one or more members having risen:
Accordingly, pursuant to order made on September 23, the division stands deferred until Thursday, October 29, at the expiry of the time provided for Oral Questions.

Mr. Speaker, I suspect if you were to canvass the House, you might find unanimous consent to call it 6:13 p.m. at this time in order to facilitate private members' hour beginning.
The Deputy Speaker Bruce Stanton
Are there any objections to the House seeing the clock at 6:13 p.m.?
Seeing none, the House will now proceed to the consideration of Private Members' Business as listed on today's Order Paper.

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, just as clarification, I was attempting to connect prior to the question being read. I am making the assumption from the last few moments, because I was not connected before that point, that the debate is now collapsed.
The Deputy Speaker Bruce Stanton
That is in fact correct. No other member stood and so the question was put and a recorded division requested and deferred until tomorrow after the time for Oral Questions.
