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

Mr. Speaker, before proceeding with Motion No. 71, on which I think there is agreement that we want a standing vote, I would request the consent of the House to apply the vote just taken on Motion No. 55 to Motions Nos. 100, 104, 33 and 45.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Tom Wappel, Liberal, Scarborough Southwest, ON]

Mr. Speaker, just as a clarification because I could not write fast enough when my whip was speaking. I believe Motion No. 100 was mentioned and I would like to be recorded as voting in favour of Motion No. 100. I believe she also mentioned Motion No. 33 and I would like to be recorded as voting in favour of Motion No. 33. I would also like to be recorded as voting in favour of Motion No. 45. Were there any other motions?

[The Speaker]

The hon. member will have to pay close attention, it is Motion No. 104.
