Finance Committee on Nov. 21st, 2012

[Mauril Bélanger, Liberal, Ottawa—Vanier, ON]

Mr. Chair, I understand what you are asking, but I remember having to vote in the House for about 72 hours because there were 4,000 amendments proposed at the time by the Reform Party. One of those sets of amendments was about the implementation of provisions every day of the year.

Since the House has already set the precedent of voting on such issues, I feel obligated to respect that precedent. Therefore, you do not have our consent. So we will have to vote on each of those amendments. I will ask for a recorded vote for each amendment. Do expect that.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

If the members wants, the member will have a vote on each one. But I would say that there have been changes made since those voting days, including by the illustrious Don Boudria, former House leader from your party, who I think would probably side with me on this issue. But that's up to—

[Mauril Bélanger, Liberal, Ottawa—Vanier, ON]

He's not here right now.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

He's not here to confirm that, so we will proceed.

We will start with amendment Liberal-165-1.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

The request has been made if we could vote by month instead of day.
