Mr. Speaker, I thought we were supposed to vote on a group of motions. I notice that you are presenting the motions one by one. If we are voting on the version of Motion No. 9 that I have before me, I will vote against this motion. I thought this had already been settled by grouping the motions. Are we dealing with each motion separately and deferring the division until the end of the day?

The Deputy Speaker

The hon. member has raised an important point. If he will refer to the very long and complex decision made earlier, he will see that Motions Nos. 7, 9 and 21 will be voted on separately. That is what we are doing now. I think that if our colleagues show enough flexibility, we could now proceed with the vote on Motion No. 9 by unanimous consent.

The official opposition is against Motion No. 9, but I thought that it had been voted on at the same time as Motion No. 7. I now understand that you are dealing with every motion separately. I would ask for the unanimous consent of the House to go back to this vote because we wish to say that we are against this motion, so that the vote can be deferred until the end of the day.
