Procedure and House Affairs Committee on May 1st, 2014

[Craig Scott, NDP, Toronto—Danforth, ON]

The government will be voting for another one of ours.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Okay. We're going to vote either way, because there's another one exactly like it.

So NDP-81, are all in favour?

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

That then defeated Liberal-52 and PV-84.

I'd like to point out that I can see the table now.

Are you all in favour of G-41?

[A voice]

Is G-41 not the same?

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Hang on, we're checking. It's the same size and shape. We've determined that it's on 8 1/2 by 11 paper.

No, they're not identical so we'll vote on G-41.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 155 as amended agreed to)

Now to BQ-11....

[An hon. member]

On division.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clauses 156 and 157 agreed to on division)

Liberal-53, it has some other stuff here too.

[Scott Simms, Liberal, Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL]

A recorded vote, please...?

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

If it's adopted we can't go to another one, so we'll see what happens here.

(Amendment negatived: nays 5; yeas 4) [See Minutes of Proceedings])

That moves us to Government-42.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Government-43....

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Government-44, it's a roll.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Government-45....

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 158 agreed to on division)

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Shall the schedule carry?

(Schedule agreed to on division)

Shall the short title carry?

[Craig Scott, NDP, Toronto—Danforth, ON]

Could I have a recorded vote, please, Mr. Chair?

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

A recorded vote on the short title....

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]

We don't agree with it. It's wrong. It should be the unfair elections act.

(Short title agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4)

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Shall the title carry?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Shall the bill, as amended, carry?

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]

We would like a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

I'll allow it. This is a recorded division on the bill, so we know where we're at.

(Bill C-23 as amended agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4)

Shall I report the bill to the House, as amended?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Shall we reprint the bill?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

That completes it. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

[Craig Scott, NDP, Toronto—Danforth, ON]

Thank you to our legislative clerk.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Thank you to all of our staff.

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]

The staff did a good job.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Thank you for the special hell we put you all through.

We will see you all back in room 112-North on Tuesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
