The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands is rising on a point of order.

[Elizabeth May, Green, Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to verify. I am sure the Right Hon. Prime Minister had no intention of having his vote count. He did not rise, he came in late, but I did hear his name in the roster, so I just wanted to verify.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Barry Devolin]

The hon. member for New Westminster—Coquitlam on another point of order.

Mr. Speaker, could we also verify whether the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development was in his seat at the start?

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Barry Devolin]

Order. The Chair did see the Prime Minister arrive during the vote, but the Chair did not notice whether the parliamentary secretary for finance or the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development arrived during the vote.

The hon. Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.

[John Duncan, Conservative, Vancouver Island North, BC]

Mr. Speaker, I came in early in the vote, but I should not have voted.

[Shelly Glover, Conservative, Saint Boniface, MB]

Mr. Speaker, I was not sure if they really cared much about losing by 51 or 50 votes. You can discontinue my vote.
