Peter Milliken Liberal Kingston and the Islands, ON

Mr. Speaker, to avoid confusion I think you would find there is unanimous consent to apply the second vote that was taken, that is, the vote on the previous amendment to a motion, not on a main motion, to this particular vote on this particular amendment.

Alfonso Gagliano Liberal Saint-Léonard, QC

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. Let us try again and maybe this time we will get it straight.

I believe and I would like to ask my colleagues to check their voting lists, that the results of the vote on the first motion, the first vote we took that now because of the results of the vote we could apply the first vote to all the remaining concurrence motions, second reading of the bill, concurrence and report stage, third reading of the bill and all the clauses of the committee of the whole should be adopted on division.

Bill Blaikie NDP Winnipeg—Transcona, MB

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I am sorry but that was not my understanding. I was waiting for the whip to get up after this particular motion. If we were to do what he suggests, we would end up voting in a way we do not wish to vote, so I cannot agree.

Liberal

Alfonso Gagliano Liberal Saint-Léonard, QC

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I understand what the hon. member is saying. What happened was that on the first vote the Reform did not vote the way we were told they would vote. That is why we could apply the first vote to the other five votes.

Gilles Duceppe Bloc Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC

Mr. Speaker, I think we could apply the results of the first vote to this one, and the hon. member could apply the same reasoning to the two votes on which they want to vote differently from the series of votes on which we will vote. Our agreement still stands, provided he makes it clear that a negative vote on the fifth vote applies to all votes except two. If he says which two, there is no problem.

NDP

Bill Blaikie NDP Winnipeg—Transcona, MB

Mr. Speaker, far be it from me to have been able to predict what the Reform Party would do, or for that matter the government whip.

Whatever is going on here, Mr. Speaker, I just want it to be absolutely clear that the NDP caucus wants to support the motion of the Treasury Board allocating money to VIA Rail and to Industry grants. Then we want to be recorded as voting against the main estimates in their entirety.

Elwin Hermanson Reform Kindersley—Lloydminster, SK

Mr. Speaker, I just want to clarify for the record that the Reform Party was indeed opposed to all the estimates because we believe fiscal spending by the government has to be brought under control.
