The House resumed consideration of Bill C-43, an act to amend the Lobbyists Registration Act and to make related amendments to other Acts, as reported (with amendments) from the committee.

Lobbyists Registration Act

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Pursuant to Standing Order 45, the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred division at report stage on Bill C-43.

The first question is on Motion No. 1.

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

Mr. Speaker, if you were to seek it, I believe you would find unanimous consent that those members who have voted on the previous motion for third reading of Bill C-69 be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House in the following manner: Liberal members voting nay.

[Gilles Duceppe, Bloc, Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC]

Bloc Quebecois members also vote nay.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party will vote yea.

[Len Taylor, NDP, The Battlefords—Meadow Lake, SK]

The New Democrats will vote yea.

(The House divided on Motion No. 1, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

I declare Motion No. 1 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 2. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 24, 26, 27, 32 and 33. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 2 obviates the need for a vote on Motions Nos. 3, 15, 16, 17 and 18 but necessitates a vote on Motion No. 11. A negative vote on Motion No. 2 necessitates a vote on Motions Nos. 3, 11 and 16.

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

Mr. Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent for the members who voted on Bill C-69 to be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House in the following manner with Liberal members voting nay.

[Gilles Duceppe, Bloc, Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC]

Bloc Quebecois members vote yea.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Mr. Speaker, members of the Reform Party vote yes, except for those members who wish to vote otherwise.

[Len Taylor, NDP, The Battlefords—Meadow Lake, SK]

Mr. Speaker, the New Democrats vote no.

(The House divided on Motion No. 2, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

I declare Motion No. 2 lost. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 24, 26, 27, 32 and 33 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 3. The vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 15.
