This being the first vote in a committee of the whole during a hybrid sitting, I would like to take a moment to explain the new voting procedure.

Pursuant to Standing Order 101.1, the process for votes in committee of the whole will take place in a manner similar to the process for votes during sittings of the House with the exception of the requirement to call in the members.

As usual, members experiencing technical difficulties should use the “raise hand” function and wait until the end of the voting period for the Chair to recognize them.

Finally, before we begin, I would like to remind members that the names of members who vote for or against a motion in committee of the whole will not be recorded in the Journals.

Mr. Speaker, seeing as we have been voting for almost 28 hours, I thought this time we could try something a little different. Instead of adding another $70,000 on the clock as the tax-and-spend Conservatives want to do, I thought perhaps we could save taxpayers money, which I thought the Conservatives would be for but it turns out they are not, and could try passing this on division.
