Restoring Mail Delivery for Canadians Act

[The Chair, NDP, Denise Savoie]

Shall clause 2 carry?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[The Chair, NDP, Denise Savoie]

All those in favour of clause 2 will please say yea.

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Chair, NDP, Denise Savoie]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Chair, NDP, Denise Savoie]

In my opinion the nays have it.

Order, please. As this is a different kind of vote, I should like to read the procedure. I should like to remind the hon. members that the voting will begin with the Chair asking those members who are in favour of the clause to all rise, row by row. As the Clerk counts the members on my right, they will sit down, row by row, followed by those members in the rows to my left.

The hon. Chief Government Whip is rising on a point of order.

[Gordon O'Connor, Conservative, Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON]

Madam Chair, if you seek it I believe you would find unanimous consent to apply the vote from the previous recorded vote to this clause, and we will follow that procedure through the rest of the clauses.

[The Chair, NDP, Denise Savoie]

Does the Chief Government Whip have the unanimous consent of the House to proceed in this way?
