The question is on the motion.
If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.
Ruby Sahota Liberal Brampton North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I believe if you seek it, you will find agreement to apply the results of the previous vote to this vote, with Liberal members voting yea.
Andrew Scheer Conservative Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, there were two members' votes that the NDP have said should not count because of technical difficulties, so if we start applying all these votes, those members' votes will not count, is that correct?
Main Estimates 2024-25Government Orders
The Speaker Greg Fergus
I will consult with the Table. That is indeed correct.
Is the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle requesting a recorded division?
Andrew Scheer Conservative Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, if the two members' votes that the NDP objected to will not count, then we will have to have a recorded division.
Main Estimates 2024-25Government Orders
The Speaker Greg Fergus
To apply the vote from the previous vote, it would be as if the vote had stood, which means that the two members' votes would not be counted in this vote.
Heather McPherson NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I do not enjoy doing this, but really the guardrail of using the app is that we can identify the members who have voted or who have not. We do not have photos, I believe, and I will ask the clerks to check, for the member for Foothills and the member for Banff—Airdrie. If their photos do not come up, we cannot guarantee that it is they who voted, and I would ask that those votes not count.
Main Estimates 2024-25Government Orders
The Speaker Greg Fergus
I would happily like to inform the House that the photo for the member for Banff-Airdrie did come through. It is only the picture for the member for Foothills that did not come through, so his vote will have to be withdrawn.

I do now leave the chair for the House to go into committee of the whole.
