I did not refuse to proceed with the vote; I simply noted that we did not have enough time, since there were several votes. There is a difference there.
The clerk has checked and we can vote on Ms. Truppe's motion.
Let me remind you that Ms. Truppe moved that we proceed with the vote right away.
(Motion agreed to)
In that case, shall vote 25 under Human Resources and Skills Development carry?
(Vote 25 carried)
Shall vote 30 under Human Resources and Skills Development carry?
(Vote 30 carried)
Shall I report votes 25 and 30 under Human Resources and Skills Development to the House?
