Before we take the vote on unanimous consent, the Chair takes this very seriously and has duly noted all the comments made by all the members on both sides of the Chamber concerning this bill.
The Chair also recognizes that a precedent is not set when unanimous consent is requested. Any member of the House may deny unanimous consent and therefore a precedent is not set.
With regard to this bill, the House did give unanimous consent earlier to exceptionally deal with this legislation, to pass it at report and third reading stages today. Therefore the House has already expressed its desire to see this legislation proceed.
The Chair very clearly states that this is not and will not be considered as a precedent. The concerns of the hon. whip of the official opposition are noted.
Accordingly, is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
