The Deputy Speaker on Income Tax Act Amendments, 1999

I regret to inform the hon. member that, when the Chair put the question, I asked the House to answer yea or nay according to its pleasure. I then said “In my opinion, the yeas have it”. Five members had not risen at that point. I am sorry, but I counted the members and there were not five. That is the only reason I asked “When will the bill be read the third time?” And that is how it went. We are now at third reading.
