There are 27 motions on the Order Paper for Bill C-9 at report stage.
The motions will be grouped for debate as follows:
Group No. 1: Motions Nos. 1 to 24.
Group No. 2: Motions Nos. 25 to 27.
The voting patterns for the motions within each group are available at the Table
The Chair will remind the House of each pattern at the time of voting.
In relation to the voting pattern, the Chair would like to highlight one particular voting application. In Group No. 1, the vote on Motion No. 3 has been applied to a series of 12 other motions. All these motions are technical in nature, that is to say, they propose modifications which make the English and French portions of the bill agreed.
Due to the editorial character of these motions, I have decided that one decision should apply to the entire series. Specifically, the vote on Motion No. 3 applies to Motions Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 23, and 24.
Hon. members who believe that any one of these motions refer to the substance of the bill and that it should be put to a separate vote are invited to approach the Table and present their arguments to that effect as soon as possible.
If necessary, the Chair will readjust the voting patterns and inform the House accordingly.
I shall now propose to the House Motions Nos. 1 to 24 in Group No. 1.
