[Don Boudria, Liberal, Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think you would find the House would give its consent to apply the vote taken on Motion No. 4 to Motion No. 3, save and except that

I think a member of the New Democratic Party may make a small alteration to that for the purposes of his colleagues.

[Len Taylor, NDP, The Battlefords—Meadow Lake, SK]

Mr, Speaker, on behalf of my colleagues in the New Democratic Party, I concur that we would accept the application of the vote taken on Motion No. 4 to Motion No. 3 that is before us.

We would like yes votes to apply to the members for Kamloops, Winnipeg Transcona, Mackenzie, The Battlefords-Meadow Lake, Saskatoon-Clark's Crossing, and Regina-Lumsden.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is that agreed?

[Some hon. members]

[Some hon. members]

In my opinion the yeas have it.

And more than five members having risen:

[Don Boudria, Liberal, Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I wonder if the House would agree to take the vote on Motion No. 5 and apply it in reverse to this motion. I think you would find the result is identical.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Call in the members.
