Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I would like you to clarify certain rules for us. Earlier, the clerk called out the names of several Liberal members who were not standing in their place. I would like you to tell us what the rule is. Do members have to rise so their votes can be recorded or does the clerk call out their names automatically even though they are sitting down? That was the case for at least seven Liberal members earlier. Can you clarify that rule for us?

12:20 a.m.
The Deputy Speaker
I am sure the only votes that are counted are those of members who are standing in their place when the division is taken. I will look more closely to make sure that this is the case. I thank the member for his vigilance.

Mr. Speaker, I think it would be preferable to start all over again in this case. I saw at least ten Liberal members who were sitting down but whose names were called out by the clerk with those opposing the motion—

The Deputy Speaker
I am certain that the clerk counted the members only when they were standing in their places. I am sure that is always the case. We do not want to recount the vote at this point.
I believe that the procedure is correct, and we can proceed to the next question, which is on Motion No. 322.
Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
