Debates of March 26th, 2003

Assisted Human Reproduction Act

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Speaker]

We are on Motion No. 10, applying the vote taken on Motion No. 7, which we just recorded a few minutes ago. It was the last one. On Motion No. 10 there are going to be some changes.

The whip for the Bloc Quebecois indicated that the members of his party would be voting in favour of this motion.

Are there any other changes? If so, I will hear them.

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

Mr. Speaker, members of the NDP are voting no.

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

Mr. Speaker, on Motion No. 10 members of the Canadian Alliance will be voting yes.

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

Mr. Speaker, on a point of clarification, I want to be sure that the vote being recorded will represent the votes as they were split, because the members for New Brunswick Southwest, Cumberland—Colchester, Gander—Grand Falls, Saint John and St. John's East should be recorded as voting yes.

[The Speaker]

The hon. member indicates that he wants it changed, so we will leave it as it was on Motion No. 7. That is the vote that is to be applied on Motion No. 10.

(The House divided on Motion No. 10, which was negatived on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 10 lost.

The next question is on the amendment to Motion No. 52.

(The House divided on the amendment, which was agreed to on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare the amendment to Motion No. 52 carried. The question, therefore, is on Motion No. 52 as amended.

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

Mr. Speaker, on this motion that has just been amended, I believe you would find consent in the House that those who voted on the previous motion be recorded as voting on this motion with the Liberal members voting yes.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Dale Johnston, Canadian Alliance, Wetaskiwin, AB]

Mr. Speaker, we will be voting yes. I would like to add the member for Vancouver--Sunshine Coast.

[Michel Guimond, Bloc, Beauport—Montmorency—Côte-De- Beaupré—Île-D'Orléans, QC]

Mr. Speaker, the members of the Bloc Quebecois vote against the motion.

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

Mr. Speaker, the members of the NDP vote against the motion.

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

Mr. Speaker, the members of the Progressive Conservative Party vote yes to the motion.

[John Cannis, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

Mr. Speaker, I abstained on the previous vote but on this vote I would like to be recorded as voting with the government.

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

Mr. Speaker, the member for Burnaby—Douglas votes against the motion.

[Brent St. Denis, Liberal, Algoma—Manitoulin, ON]

Mr. Speaker, like the member for Scarborough Centre, I abstained on the previous motion but I would like to be recorded as having voted with the government in this vote.

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

Mr. Speaker, I need clarification. Was the vote just taken on Motion No. 52 as amended?

If so, the members of the NDP vote in favour of this motion.

[The Speaker]

Yes, the vote was on Motion No. 52 as amended.

(The House divided on Motion No. 52, which was agreed to on the following division:)

[The Speaker]

I declare Motion No. 52, as amended, carried.

The next question is on Motion No. 53.

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

Mr. Speaker, I would ask that you seek the consent of the House that those who were recorded as voting on the previous motion be recorded as voting on the motion now before the House with Liberal members voting yes, with the addition of the member for Barrie—Simcoe—Bradford.

[The Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent to proceed in this way?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Dale Johnston, Canadian Alliance, Wetaskiwin, AB]

Mr. Speaker, Canadian Alliance members will vote yes and I would like to add the name of the member for North Vancouver.
