John Nunziata Independent York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Historically the phrase on division has come to mean something. It has been parliamentary tradition. That means that rather than taking a roll call vote and requiring every member to stand in his or her place to cast a ballot, the political parties agree that the motion is to carry without the opposition suggesting it is voting in favour, that there is opposition to the motion. That is what the words on division—
Division No. 205Government Orders
The Speaker
I made the decision that it would be carried on division because there were not five members standing. Therefore I said that it was on division. I made the ruling and it will stand.
The next question is on Motion No. 23.
