Interim Supply

[The Speaker]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And more than five members having risen:

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

Mr. Speaker, if you were to seek it you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on the previous motion to the motion now before the House.

[The Speaker]

Is that agreed?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Speaker]

I declare the motion carried.

[Alfonso Gagliano, Liberal, for President of the Treasury Board]

(Motion deemed adopted and bill read the first time.)

[Alfonso Gagliano, Liberal, for President of the Treasury Board]

House in Committee of the Whole on Bill C-80, an Act for granting Her Majesty certain sums of money for the public service of Canada for the financial year ending March 31, 1996.

[Michel Bellehumeur, Bloc, Berthier—Montcalm, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs if this bill is presented in the same form as passed in previous years.

[Alfonso Gagliano, Liberal, Secretary of State (Parliamentary Affairs) and Deputy Leader of the Government in the House of Commons]

Mr. Speaker, the appropriations requested in the bill are intended to meet all the basic requirements of the public service of Canada until June 31, 1995. The bill does not appropriate the total amount for any item, and the bill has the customary format of interim supply bills. I can assure the hon. member that the bill is in the same form as passed in previous years.

[The Assistant Deputy Chairman]

Shall clause 2 carry?

(Clause 2 agreed to.)

[The Assistant Deputy Chairman]

Shall clause 3 carry?

[Some hon. members]

On division.

(Clause 3 agreed to.)
