Debates of June 13th, 2012

Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Barry Devolin]

The Chair will go back to the hon. member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine. For the second member he referred to, I believe the riding name was incorrect. Could he clarify to which member he was referring?

[Philip Toone, NDP, Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I was referring to the member for Calgary Centre—North.

Furthermore, I point out that it seems that the member for Sarnia—Lambton has brought a cup of coffee into the room.

[Gordon O'Connor, Conservative, Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON]

Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of 159 votes and I have not brought up points of order. People are eating on both sides; they are eating everywhere. It is against the rules, but we have to tolerate it. We have 159 votes to go through.

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Centre-North, AB]

Mr. Speaker, it is very early in the morning. It has been a long night and as I cannot personally recall if I did not sit in my seat at the start of the vote, I would like my vote not to count.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Barry Devolin]

The vote of the member for Langley will be counted. The vote for the member for Calgary Centre-North will not. The vote that was granted to the member for Don Valley East will be corrected to the hon. member for Sault Ste. Marie.

The hon. member for Toronto Centre.

[Bob Rae, Liberal, Toronto Centre, ON]
