Debates of June 13th, 2012

Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

Mr. Speaker, before we start voting on Motion No. 854, I was thinking it might be better to proceed differently. Since the legality of our country's withdrawal from Kyoto is currently before the courts, and in the interests of respecting the separation of legislative and judicial powers, I think it would make sense for us to wait before voting on this.

[Some hon. members]

Hear, hear!

[The Speaker, Andrew Scheer]

The next question is on Motion No. 854. A negative vote on Motion No. 854 necessitates the question being put on Motion No. 855.

Vote #435

[The Speaker, Andrew Scheer]

I declare Motion No. 854 defeated.

The next question is on Motion No. 855. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[The Speaker, Andrew Scheer]

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

Yea.
