(The House divided on the motion, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare the motion lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 5.

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

Madam Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote on report stage Motion No. 3 to the motion now before the House.

[René Laurin, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Madam Speaker, we agree. The members of the Bloc Quebecois vote yea.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Madam Speaker, the Reform Party members will be voting yea, except for those members who wish to vote otherwise.

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

Madam Speaker, in consultation with my colleagues in the New Democratic Party we are voting nay.

[Jag Bhaduria, Liberal, Markham—Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON]

Madam Speaker, I will be voting nay.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare the motion lost.

The next question is on Motions Nos. 6 and 7.

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

Madam Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent to apply the same vote to report stage Motions Nos. 6 and 7. If you could just seek unanimous consent, you would get to apply the vote on Motion No. 4 to Motions Nos. 6 and 7.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[René Laurin, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Madam Speaker, there must be a mistake; we did not vote on Motion No. 4 as we intend to vote on Motions Nos. 6 and 7.

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

Madam Speaker, if I could just attract the attention of our colleagues for a moment. I am seeking unanimous consent to apply the vote taken to report stage Motion No. 2. That is, item 4 on the list that we have before us.

I am seeking unanimous consent to apply that vote to report stage Motions Nos. 6 and 7.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motions Nos. 6 and 7 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 11.

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

Madam Speaker, I believe you will find unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on report stage Motion No. 1 to this motion.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motion No. 11 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 12. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 12 obviates the need for a vote on Motion No. 13. A negative vote on Motion No. 12 necessitates a vote on Motion No. 13.

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

Madam Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on report stage Motion No. 2 to the motion now before the House.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.
