Mr. Speaker, I realize that the hours have been many and that it is a difficult challenge for you to be aware of all members as they are coming and going. A number of our members did watch members come in after the vote started, but as we move forward we will of course take your ruling now to accept their votes because this is your decision.
However, between you and the table, as we go through the next number of hours I would suggest that it is vigilance once the vote has been called that removes the discretion involved and allows us to have a conversation about who is actually in the House. Otherwise, we will have these constant arguments among members that are unfruitful to the process of voting.
