Debates of Feb. 16th, 1998

Canadian Wheat Board Act

[The Speaker]

I understand that we have a potential for quite a few votes tonight. I am sure all of us want to handle them as expeditiously as possible.

The first question is on Motion No. 1.

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

Division No. 73

[The Speaker]

I declare the Motion No. 1 lost.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I believe you would find consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to the following motions: Motions Nos. 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23 and 48.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to apply the vote?

[Chuck Strahl, Reform, Fraser Valley, BC]

Yes, Mr. Speaker, there is consent. I would like to add the member for Calgary West to the Reform Party's number on that vote tally.

[The Speaker]

If there are no more names to be added, we will put the same vote. Is that agreed?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Speaker]

I address myself to the government whip on a matter of clarification. Is Motion No. 22 included in that list?

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

No, it is not, Mr. Speaker.

Editor's Note: See list under Division No. 73

[The Speaker]

I declare Motions Nos. 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23 and 48 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 2.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If the House would agree I would propose that you seek unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motions be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting nay.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Chuck Strahl, Reform, Fraser Valley, BC]

Mr. Speaker, Reform Party members present will vote yes to this motion.

[Stéphane Bergeron, Bloc, Verchères, QC]

Mr. Speaker, members of the Bloc Quebecois will be voting in favour of the motion.

[John Solomon, NDP, Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK]

Mr. Speaker, members of the NDP will vote no to this motion.

[André Harvey, Progressive Conservative, Chicoutimi, QC]

Mr. Speaker, members of our party will be voting in favour of the motion.

(The House divided on Motion No. 2, which was negatived on the following division:)

Division No. 74

[The Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 2 lost and I therefore declare Motions Nos. 31 and 41 lost.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to the following: Motions Nos. 20, 38, 45 and 46.

[The Speaker]

Is there agreement to apply the votes?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

Editor's Note: See list under Division No. 74

[The Speaker]

I declare Motions Nos. 20, 38, 45 and 46 lost.

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

Mr. Speaker, due to other obligations the member for Windsor West should be struck from the last vote.

[The Speaker]

So ordered.

The next question is on Motion No. 4. An affirmative vote on Motion No. 4 obviates the necessity of the question being put on Motions Nos. 5 and 6.

If Motion No. 4 is negatived, the question will be on Motion No. 5. If Motion No. 5 is agreed to, it will not be necessary to proceed to the division on Motion No. 6. If Motion No. 5 is negatived, the question will be on Motion No. 6.

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

Mr. Speaker, if the House would agree I would propose 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.
