Copyright Act

[Bob Kilger, Liberal, Stormont—Dundas, ON]

Madam Speaker, I would propose that you seek unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House-there will be some exceptions-with Liberal members voting yea.

[Brenda Chamberlain, Liberal, Guelph—Wellington, ON]

Madam Speaker, I wish to have clarification. On group 7, I wish to have some amendments but this would not affect those.

[Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral, Bloc, Laval Centre, QC]

Madam Speaker, members of the official opposition will vote yes.

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

Madam Speaker, Reform Party members present will vote no unless instructed otherwise by their constituents.

[Bill Blaikie, NDP, Winnipeg—Transcona, MB]

Madam Speaker, NDP members present vote yes on this motion.

[Elsie Wayne, Progressive Conservative, Saint John, NB]

Madam Speaker, the PC Party will be voting nay.

[Jag Bhaduria, Liberal, Markham—Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON]

Madam Speaker, I will be voting for the motion.

[Ethel Blondin-Andrew, Liberal, Western Arctic, NT]

Madam Speaker, had I been here for the first vote I would have voted with my party. I would therefore like my vote applied as such.

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Waterloo, ON]

Madam Speaker, I would like to be recorded as voting with my party on this one, as I did not vote on the previous one.

[Ken Epp, Reform, Elk Island, AB]

Madam Speaker, in order to have clarity and no big problems about this later, you indicated this was on Motions Nos. 8 and 11. I believe the intent is 8, 9, 10 and 11. I would like that clarified, please.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

The question is on Motion No. 1 and the vote on Motion No. 1 applies to Motions Nos. 8 to 11, 39, 42, 43 and 46.

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

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

I declare Motion No. 1 carried. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 8, 9, 10, 11, 39, 42, 43 and 46 carried.

[Bob Kilger, Liberal, Stormont—Dundas, ON]

Madam Speaker, I believe you will find unanimous consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to report stage Motion No. 49, report stage Motion No. 6 and report stage Motion No. 17.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

Is that agreed?

[Brenda Chamberlain, Liberal, Guelph—Wellington, ON]

Madam Speaker, on Motion No. 17, I wish to abstain.

[Bill Blaikie, NDP, Winnipeg—Transcona, MB]

Madam Speaker, I wonder if the government whip could repeat what he said.

[Bob Kilger, Liberal, Stormont—Dundas, ON]

That the vote previously taken on report stage Motion No. 1 be applied to report stage Motions Nos. 49, 6 and 17.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

Do we have unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Acting Speaker (Mrs. Ringuette-Maltais)]

There is not unanimous consent.

The question is on Motion No. 48.

An affirmative vote on Motion No. 48 obviates the necessity of putting the question on Motion No. 49. A negative vote on Motion No. 48 necessitates the question being put on Motion No. 49.

The question is on Motion No. 48

[Bob Kilger, Liberal, Stormont—Dundas, ON]

Madam Speaker, I would propose that you seek unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting nay.

[Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral, Bloc, Laval Centre, QC]

Madam Speaker, members of the official opposition will vote nay.

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

Madam Speaker, Reform Party members present will vote yes.

[Bill Blaikie, NDP, Winnipeg—Transcona, MB]

Madam Speaker, New Democrats vote no.
