I cannot write that fast.

[The Speaker]

Well I managed and she spoke quite slowly. We are wasting time. Is there unanimous consent to proceed with the application of these votes?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

I declare Motions Nos. 100, 104, 33 and 45 lost. The hon. member for Scarborough Southwest will have his voted noted in the appropriate record.

The next question is on Motion No. 71.

(The House divided on Motion No. 71, which was agreed to on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 71 carried. The next question is on Motion No. 72.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe I am getting messages that there would now be consent.

[The Speaker]

Order. Whatever the source, I am sure the House will want to hear the chief Government whip.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe you would find that those who voted on the previous motion be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House, Motion No. 72, with the Liberal members voting as they voted on the previous motion.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this fashion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Dale Johnston, Canadian Alliance, Wetaskiwin, AB]

Mr. Speaker, in this newfound spirit of cooperation, I would ask that the results of Motion No. 9 be applied to the following motions: Motions Nos. 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 92, 94, 93, 105, 106, 16, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 40 and 47.

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

Mr. Speaker, I believe if you added two more motions to that list which the whip for the official opposition seems to have forgotten, Motions Nos. 39 and 44, you would still find consent.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed as outlined?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to add my vote to those motions.
