Debates of April 25th, 1995

Lobbyists Registration Act

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

The next question is on Motion No. 22, in Group No. 4. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 22 obviates the need for a vote on Motion No. 23. A negative vote on Motion No. 22 necessitates a vote on Motion No. 23.

Order, please. I hear comments regarding Motion No. 21. That motion was already put and agreed to.

I have just received confirmation that, before proceeding with Group No. 3, Motion No. 21 was put and agreed to earlier today.

The next question is on Motion No. 22.

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

Mr. Speaker, I think you would find there is unanimous consent for those 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]

Mr. Speaker, Bloc Quebecois members will vote yea.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Mr. Speaker, which motion are we voting on?

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

We are now dealing with group four, Motion No. 22.

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Reform Party members vote no, except for those members who wish to vote otherwise.

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

Mr. Speaker, New Democrats vote yea on this motion.

(The House divided on the motion, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

I declare Motion No. 22 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 23.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote taken on Bill C-69 in reverse to the motion now before the House.

If the House would also consider it, we could apply the same vote to Motions Nos. 25 and 28 at the same time. In other words, we would now be voting on Motions Nos. 23, 25 and 28 along with all the consequential amendments.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the chief whip for the Bloc Quebecois agree?

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

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the Reform Party whip agree?

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the NDP agree?

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

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

I declare Motions Nos. 23, 25 and 28 negatived.

The next question is on Motion No. 30.

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

Mr. Speaker, I think you would find unanimous consent to apply the results of the vote on report stage Motion No. 3 to the motion now before the House.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the Chief Whip for the Bloc Quebecois agree?

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

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the Reform Party whip agree?

[Jim Silye, Reform, Calgary Centre, AB]

Agreed.

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

Does the NDP agree?

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

Mr. Speaker, would you clarify which motion we are voting on?

[The Acting Speaker (Mr. Kilger)]

The motion we are dealing with is Motion No. 30.

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

New Democrats would be voting no on this one, Mr. Speaker.
