Mr. Speaker, in view of the fact that only slightly over ten minutes are left, instead of pursuing other government business perhaps the House would give its consent to suspend for 12 minutes.

I declare Motion No. 1 lost. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 also lost.
The next question is on Motion No. 5 of group 3.
Don Boudria Liberal Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, if you were to seek it I believe you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on the previous motion to the motion now before the House.
John Bryden Liberal Hamilton—Wentworth, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to be recorded as voting with the government on this motion.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to be recorded as voting with the government on this and further votes.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention, thanks to the proddings of my colleague opposite, that I missed the first vote. I am now here and wish to be counted with the government subsequently.

The Deputy Speaker
I declare Motion No. 5 lost.
The next question is on group 4, Motion No. 7.
Don Boudria Liberal Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, I believe the House would give its unanimous consent that all members who voted on the previous motion, that is Motion No. 5, be recorded as having voted on the
motion now before the House, with the Liberal members recorded as voting nay.
Gilles Duceppe Bloc Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
The Bloc Quebecois members will vote yea.
A positive vote on Motion No. 13 will obviate the necessity of the question being put on Motion No. 14.

Reform members will vote in favour of this motion except for those who wish to vote otherwise. This is the only time I will say that this evening.
