I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

I think my colleague's question is—and I think it's a fair one—since we voted twice on clause 571, how do we know which vote is going to be put on the record?

5:55 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

The result was the same.

Now we're on clause 582.

5:55 p.m.

Conservative

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

Sorry, I have one last point of order. I apologize for it.

No disrespect to you, Mr. Chair, but you did make that error. Can we just have the clerks review it to make sure we haven't missed any other ones?

6 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

No. The clerks are very diligent. They did review and that's why we came back to it.

Actually, the clerks caught it at the start. It's just that on the sheets, it seemed that everything was correct, so we went to review the video. That was the only one.

Now, shall clause 582 carry?

6 p.m.

Liberal

Sophie Chatel Liberal Pontiac, QC

I request a recorded vote.

(Clause 582 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

Shall clause 583 carry?

Liberal

Sophie Chatel Liberal Pontiac, QC

On division.

6 p.m.

Conservative

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

If we had the PBO, we could certainly do it on division, but given that we don't, we're going to actually do a recorded vote there. Thank you.

(Clauses 583 to 587 inclusive agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

6:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

Shall clause 588 carry?

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

The vote is on. We'll do it right after the vote.

6:05 p.m.

Conservative

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

Did we not just do clause 586?

6:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

We just did clause 587.

6:05 p.m.

Conservative

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

Oh, my apologies.

(Clauses 588 to 590 inclusive agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

Conservative

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

This is another one where I guess there was an error in the French version. They're replacing the French version. It would be good to hear this in English, translated, but I know that isn't allowed, so I will vote no.

(Clauses 591 to 627 inclusive agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)
