Debates of June 13th, 2012

Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Mr. Speaker, on the point of order, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism will confirm that the vote had commenced. There had been some disruption with some water and the laptop of the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, which may have thrown off his timing coming in. However, his vote was recorded but should not have been because the vote had already commenced.

Mr. Speaker, you can confirm that with him.

[Jason Kenney, Conservative, Calgary Southeast, AB]

Mr. Speaker, yes, but I think it was coffee and not water.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I'll take that as confirmation that he did indeed come in after the vote had started. We will make sure that is reflected in the vote results.

The question is on Motion No. 481. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 482 and 483.

Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

All those in favour of the motion will please say yea.

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And five or more members having risen:

The House divided on Motion No. 481, which was negatived on the following division:)

Vote #357

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare Motion No. 481 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 482 and 483 defeated as well.

The next question is on Motion No. 484. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 485 to 504.

A negative vote on Motion No. 484 necessitates the question being put on Motion No. 505.

Madam Speaker, I would ask that you check with the member for Palliser. I believe he entered the chamber after the vote began.
