Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, to refresh your memory, when you look at your own rulings, you will see that the NDP wanted to vote a second time, but it was refused. It was the first vote that was the deciding vote. With all due respect, Mr. Speaker, you will see it in your own ruling.
The Speaker Liberal Peter Milliken
I thank the hon. member for his advice. I will look at this precedent. I will not do it now, but I will certainly look at it.
The hon. NDP whip.
Yvon Godin NDP Acadie—Bathurst, NB
