If the House gives its consent, I would move concurrence in the first report without debate.

I am simply asking the House if it gives its consent to the motion presented by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Government House Leader. I will ask once again. Is there unanimous consent for the motion put forward by the parliamentary secretary?
Derek Lee Liberal Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, if you would check the record, when I proposed the motion for the disposition of this matter without debate the House gave its consent and then I proposed it. If there was no concurrence, then that is another issue, but I did propose it.

The Deputy Speaker
We had a two step process. First, I asked the House if it gave its consent for the motion to be put forward and the House agreed. Second, I asked if the House gave its consent for the motion and that was denied.
I will hear further motions if there are any.
Derek Lee Liberal Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have an additional motion. I ask for unanimous consent to propose the following motion for disposition without debate. If the House gives its consent I would move that the following members be added to the list of associate members of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, and a list of some dozens of members is appended. I will not read the list.

The Chair was given notice that a member would rise on a question of privilege. Since the member is not in the House at this particular time, I will put the matter aside.
