On a point of order, I believe the vote count was wrong.

It was six nays and five yeas. That vote was also recorded incorrectly.

That's what I heard as well.
The vote was carried and we moved on.

Mr. Chair, according to procedure, I can reconsider my vote. I don't want to reconsider everyone's vote, but just mine. I am voting against the motion.

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
Is that allowed under the procedures?
The Clerk
You would have to ask the committee if they have unanimous consent. The unanimous consent of members is required.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey
Thank you.
Does the committee give its unanimous consent for Madame Chabot to change her recorded vote?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey
We do not have unanimous consent.
We will then move to Mr. Long. You had your hand up.

Mr. Chair, I raised my hand, not against unanimous consent, but to say that if Madame Chabot is changing her vote, I would also appreciate the opportunity—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey
Madam Zarrillo, it takes just one individual to deny unanimous consent. There was no unanimous consent. The vote is as recorded.
Madame Chabot, before we move to the vote on adjournment—

I'm sorry. I would like to make the same request that Madam Chabot made, to revoke my vote.

Mr. Chair, if I might interject, what might have happened is that one member voted one way and meant the other, and another member voted one way and meant the other.
In the end it's still a wash, if you will. Even though the recorded vote may be.... It still comes out the same.
We need to move on and deal with the motion to adjourn.
