Mr. Speaker, the member for Bay of Quinte voted from his assigned seat in the House and then moved to another seat in the chamber before the completion and tally of the vote.
The Speaker Anthony Rota
I want to remind hon. members that under the present rules, they must remain in the seat they have chosen when they vote. I am afraid that vote will have to be struck.
We have a point of order from the hon. member for Bay of Quinte.
Ryan Williams Conservative Bay of Quinte, ON
Mr. Speaker, I inadvertently left. I am going to ask for unanimous consent to allow my vote to stand. I did not mean to do that. It was a rookie mistake.
The Speaker Anthony Rota
All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion will please say nay.
Some hon. members
Nay.
