The question is on Motion No. 765.
Bernard Trottier Conservative Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. It appears the member for Papineau voted and has since left the chamber, so his vote should not count on this one.
The Acting Speaker Conservative Barry Devolin
First, I would ask that all hon. members, if they have a point to raise regarding the vote, wait until after the results are announced to do so.
Second, it is evident that the member for Papineau is not in the chamber and therefore I would instruct the Table not to count his vote if it did so.
Gordon O'Connor Conservative Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON
Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I have a proposal. We have more than 20 votes left. We know the outcome of each vote. I would recommend that we pass these on division if the other parties are agreed.

Some hon. members
Oh, oh!
The Acting Speaker Conservative Barry Devolin
Order, order. Before I go to the opposition House leader, I would like to complete the vote that is before the House.
The Acting Speaker Conservative Barry Devolin
I declare Motion No. 765 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 766 to 781 also defeated.
Nathan Cullen NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order. I thank the Chief Government Whip for the offer. I know it came under some good advisement from the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The suggestion might work better for the opposition if it were combined with a unanimous resolution to then immediately move to question period, in which we could then put the government to account, an offer we made to the government before. We could consider such a motion, if given some time for that consideration.
Otherwise, I think we should continue with the process that we have before us.
Marc Garneau Liberal Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. We are prepared to discuss what the chief whip is proposing, if he is prepared to split the bill. We have said that since the beginning.
Gordon O'Connor Conservative Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON
Mr. Speaker, what I am prepared for is a defeat on division. That is what I want.

An hon. member
Or we will do it the slow way.
Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. We had attempted, at least on my part and I know the other opposition parties and certainly the official opposition made many attempts, to negotiate. I will make one attempt at least for my willingness to give unanimous consent for this--
