Madam Speaker, first of all I do not want to give a procedural lesson to the member across the way, but “That the question be now put” does not mean that the debate ceases now.
I have to explain this to the hon. member. He has been a member for a long time and I am surprised he does not know the significance of the motion that is now before the House. “That the question be now put” is a motion to ensure that no member can in fact hoist the bill and prevent it from coming to a vote. That is what the motion means.
