Mr. Chairman, we should be paying better attention. It is my observation that on most of these motions the nays have been much louder than the yeas, and I do not think it is correct for you as the chairman to say that it carries on division. It should be defeated on division unless the Liberals wake up and actually say yes.

The Deputy Speaker
In my opinion the nays have it.
On division? I ask the hon. member for Elk Island, is it acceptable to carry it on division?
Ken Epp Reform Elk Island, AB
Mr. Speaker, if we can be assured that the members of the governing party who are asking us to give authority for all this borrowing are awake and know what they are doing on behalf of the Canadian people, then yes.

The Deputy Speaker
I think that was a yes. I declare it carried on division.
John Williams Reform St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. By your own admission you said the nays carried the day. Therefore unless there is a recorded vote in the House this motion is defeated.

The Deputy Speaker
I thank the hon. member profoundly for that very correct observation. May I do it again?
All those in favour will please say yea.
