Personal Information Protection And Electronic Documents ActGovernment Orders

October 30th, 1998 / 1:50 p.m.

The Deputy Speaker

Order, please.

We have quorum. As I indicated to the House, I made my decision based on precedents. I have often discussed this issue with House officials during my 10 years in the House.

I am convinced members can be counted if they are in the House, even if they are not at their seat. There has been enough discussion on this point, and the matter is closed.
