Assisted Human Reproduction Act

[Val Meredith, Canadian Alliance, South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I would like my vote to be recorded as no on Motions Nos. 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 16, 20, 27, 40 and 47.

[Eleni Bakopanos, Liberal, Ahuntsic, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to be recorded as voting with the government on each of the present motions.

[Andy Savoy, Liberal, Tobique—Mactaquac, NB]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to be recorded as having voted with the government on these applied motions.

[Gerald Keddy, Progressive Conservative, South Shore, NS]

Mr. Speaker, members of the Progressive Conservative Party will be voting no, with the members for New Brunswick Southwest, Cumberland--Colchester, Gander--Grand Falls, Saint John and St. John's East voting yes.

[The Speaker]

The vote on Motion No. 9 was applied. Do the hon. members not split on Motion No. 9? Is it necessary therefore to make changes? Are they not voting the same way they did on Motion No. 9?

[Gerald Keddy, Progressive Conservative, South Shore, NS]

Mr. Speaker, I wanted to ensure that we were voting the same way as we voted on Motion No. 9.

[The Speaker]

On Motion No. 9 there were five members who voted yea in the hon. member's party, and there were three members who voted nay, if that clarifies matters for him somewhat.

[Yvon Godin, NDP, Acadie—Bathurst, NB]

Mr. Speaker, it is only to obtain a clarification. Are Motions Nos. 88 and 89 included?

[The Speaker]

Yes, they are.

(The House divided on Motion No. 82, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motions Nos. 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 92, 94, 93, 105, 106, 16, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 40, 47, 39 and 44 lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 74.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find consent that the vote taken on Motion No. 53 be applied to Motion No. 74.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

(The House divided on Motion No. 74, which was agreed to on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 74 carried. The next question is on Motion No. 75.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, again I believe you would find consent in the House to apply the vote taken on Motion No. 5 to Motion No. 75 and also to apply the same vote to Motions Nos. 80 and 32.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Joe Peschisolido, Liberal, Richmond, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to add my vote to that.

[Gary Lunn, Canadian Alliance, Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC]

Mr. Speaker, on Motion No. 80, I would like to be recorded as voting no.

[Yvon Godin, NDP, Acadie—Bathurst, NB]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to add the name of the member for Winnipeg Centre.

[Gerald Keddy, Progressive Conservative, South Shore, NS]

Mr. Speaker, the members of the Progressive Conservative Party will be voting yes, with the member for South Shore and the member for Fundy—Royal voting no.

[Keith Martin, Canadian Alliance, Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC]

Mr. Speaker, on Motion No. 80, I would like my vote to be recorded as no.

(The House divided on Motion No. 80, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motions Nos. 80, 32 and 75 lost. I also wish to advise the House that the vote taken on Motion No. 32 applies to Motion No. 36 and accordingly it is also lost.

The next question is on Motion No. 77.

[Marlene Catterall, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I believe that both the opposition whip and I made a mistake. You will find that the vote on Motion No. 9 will also apply to the vote on Motion No. 77, with the consent of the House of course.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent that the vote on Motion No. 9 apply to Motion No. 77?
