House of Commons Hansard #63 of the 36th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was yea.
Paul Crête Bloc Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Since 73 votes have been registered and there are close to 400 votes left, I would like to know what will happen to the committees that would normally be sitting today, including the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development where the internal auditor is scheduled to appear to shed light on—
Division No. 826Government Orders
The Acting Speaker (Mr. McClelland)
This is not a point of order.
Committees are creatures of their own. I do not have any idea what is going to happen with the committee.
Paul Crête Bloc Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, will you please allow me to speak and be heard by the members of the House?
You have—
Division No. 826Government Orders
The Acting Speaker (Mr. McClelland)
No, I will not. I recognized the member for Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques on a point of order. The point of order would have to have something to do with what is going on in the House right now, for example the order of the vote. If your point of order is pertinent to what is happening right now I will listen to it, but there is no other reason.
Paul Crête Bloc Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order specifically in reference to the vote, because I want my right to vote as a parliamentarian to be respected. I am indicating that certain committees are scheduled to sit today and my right to vote in this place might be affected if committees are sitting at the same time.
Division No. 826Government Orders
The Acting Speaker (Mr. McClelland)
I would suggest the hon. member for Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques consult with his caucus. We will do the question first and I will check that later.
The next question is on Motion No. 74. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

All those in favour of the motion will please say yea.
