Yvon Charbonneau Liberal Anjou—Rivière-Des-Prairies, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to be considered as being present for the next divisions and I will be voting with my party.
Bob Kilger Liberal Stormont—Dundas, ON
Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find unanimous consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to the following:
Vote 15 of the President of Treasury Board under Public Works and Government Services;
Vote 1 of the President of the Treasury Board under Agriculture and Agri-Food;
Vote 1 of the President of the Treasury under Environment;
Vote 5 of the President of the Treasury Board under Indian Affairs and Northern Development;
Vote 15 of the President of the Treasury Board under Citizenship and Immigration;
Vote 5 of the President of the Treasury Board under Transport;
Vote 1(a) of the President of the Treasury Board under Agriculture and Agri-food;
Concurrence in Supplementary Estimates (A);
Supply bill of the President of the Treasury Board, the main motion for second reading.
John Nunziata Independent York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to provide my consent, but the government whip provided me with a list of votes today and it is not consistent with what he has just indicated. He appears not to be following the list.
Bob Kilger Liberal Stormont—Dundas, ON
Mr. Speaker, there would be a discrepancy if the member went to the second page, to Vote 1(a), under the President of the Treasury Board; the concurrence in Supplementary Estimates (A); and the supply bill under the President of the Treasury Board.
Those items have been marked under different lettering, but upon review it came to my attention that those votes were exactly identical to the votes previously taken, as outlined in my intervention.
John Nunziata Independent York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am sorry but that is not clear to me.
If we were to proceed down the list as provided, I would provide my consent. I just do not understand what he is saying with respect to these votes.
Bob Kilger Liberal Stormont—Dundas, ON
Mr. Speaker, if I followed the list exactly then we would apply the vote just taken to Vote 15 of the President of the Treasure Board under Public Works and Government Services; Vote 1 of the President of the Treasury Board under Agriculture and Agri-food; Vote 1 of the President of the Treasury Board under Environment; Vote 5 of the President of the Treasury Board under Indian Affairs and Northern Development; Vote 15 of the President of the Treasury Board under Citizenship and Immigration; and Vote 5 of the President of the Treasury Board under Transport.
