Debates of May 31st, 1999

Division No. 537

[Lynn Myers, Liberal, Waterloo—Wellington, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I wonder if there would be unanimous consent to apply the votes in the manner that was just done consistent with the next five?

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is it agreed to apply the vote on the motion just taken to the motion now before the House?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Accordingly, we will proceed in the usual way.

Before the taking of the vote:

[Gary Lunn, Reform, Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I was standing to be recorded for yes but somehow I got missed. I am not sure how they could have missed me.

[The Deputy Speaker]

I am sure no one can imagine, but I am sure the hon. member will also be counted.

(The House divided on the amendment, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Division No. 538

[The Deputy Speaker]

I declare the amendment to Motion No. 2 carried.

[Peter MacKay, Progressive Conservative, Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS]

Mr. Speaker, I would again seek unanimous consent to have the results of the vote just taken applied to the remaining four votes.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to apply these votes?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

The question is on Motion No. 2, as amended.

[Lynn Myers, Liberal, Waterloo—Wellington, ON]

Mr. Speaker, in the interest of co-operation I rise on a point of order to seek unanimous consent that the House apply the vote just taken to the four remaining.

[The Deputy Speaker]

The Chair is not prepared to keep doing this. I will ask once more and then we are proceeding. Is there unanimous consent to apply the vote just taken as indicated?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

The next question is on Motion No. 2, as amended.

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

Division No. 539

[The Deputy Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 2, as amended, carried.

The next question is on the amendment to Motion No. 3.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I believe you will find consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to the amendment to Motion No. 3 under the name of the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville and Motion No. 3 under the name of the hon. member for Mississauga East. That would leave the report stage concurrence motion to be voted on subsequently by itself.

I am suggesting that we might have consent to apply the results of the vote just taken to the next two votes and only those.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed as outlined by the chief government whip?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Ghislain Lebel, Bloc, Chambly, QC]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. It has been drawn to my attention that I was not recorded as voting in favour of the motion on the last vote. I want to make sure that this is done.

[The Deputy Speaker]

We can assure the hon. member that his name will be included on the list for Motion No. 3 and the amendment has having voted yea.

[Ghislain Lebel, Bloc, Chambly, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I was present at the last vote, but I do not think I was recognized.
