Debates of Dec. 15th, 1994

Department Of Canadian Heritage Act

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motion No. 12 lost.

The next question is 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. 1 to the motion now before the House and you would find further unanimous consent to apply that to report stage Motions Nos. 17, 22 and 24 as well.

[René Laurin, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Madam Speaker, again, I think that the numbers of the motions reported by the hon. Liberal Party whip should be checked because all this is not consistent with the previous agreement.

Would it be possible to repeat the numbers of the motions being referred to?

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

Madam Speaker, I would ask consent that the result applied to Motion No. 1 apply to report stage Motions Nos. 13, 17, 22 and 24.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motions Nos. 13, 17, 22 and 24 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 14. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 15, 16, 18, and 19.

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

Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on report stage Motion No. 3 to the item now before the House.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Editor's Note: See list under division No. 152.]

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motion No. 14 lost. Consequently, Motions Nos. 15, 16, 18, and 19 are also lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 20. A vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 23.

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

Madam Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent for the members who voted on the previous motion to be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House in the following manner: Liberal members voting nay.

[René Laurin, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Madam Speaker, we will vote yea.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

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

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

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

I declare Motions Nos. 20 and 23 negatived.

[Diane Marleau, Liberal, for the Minister of Canadian Heritage]

moved that the bill, as amended, be concurred in.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote just taken on report stage Motion No. 20 in reverse to the concurrence motion.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Maheu)]

Does the House agree?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

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

Agreed.
