[The Deputy Speaker]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And more than five members having risen:

[The Deputy Speaker]

Pursuant to Standing Order 76(8), a recorded division on the proposed motion stands deferred.

The next question is on Motion No. 213. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[The Deputy Speaker]

Nay.

[The Deputy Speaker]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And more than five members having risen:

[The Deputy Speaker]

Pursuant to Standing Order 76(8), a recorded division on the proposed motion stands deferred.

We will now proceed to the taking of the deferred divisions on Bill C-12.

Call in the members.

And the division bells having rung:

[The Deputy Speaker]

The question is on Motion No. 1.

A vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 3. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 1 obviates the necessity of putting the question on Motion No. 2. If motion No. 1 is negatived, Motion No. 2 will be voted on.

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

[The Deputy Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 1 lost. Therefore I declare Motion No. 3 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 2.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe if you were to seek it you would find unanimous consent to apply the results of report stage Motion No. 1 to the motion now before the House, as well as report stage Motions Nos. 4, 5, and 8.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Deputy Speaker]

I therefore declare Motions No. 2, 4, 5 and 8 negatived.

The next question is on Motion No. 6.

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

Mr. Speaker, if you were to seek it I believe you would find unanimous consent for all members who voted on the previous motion, with the exception of the Minister of National Defence, to be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting yea.

[René Laurin, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois members will vote nay on this motion.

[Chuck Strahl, Reform, Fraser Valley East, BC]

Mr. Speaker, Reform Party members present will vote no, unless other members wish to vote otherwise.
