Economic Action Plan 2013 Act No. 2

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

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

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And five or more members having risen:

The recorded division on the motion stands deferred.

The recorded division will also apply to Motions Nos. 178 to 282.

The next question is on Motion No. 283. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

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

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Acting Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

In my opinion the nays have it.

And five or more members having risen:

The recorded division on Motion No. 283 stands deferred. The recorded division will also apply to Motion No. 284.

The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred division at the report stage of the bill.

Call in the members.

The question is on Motion No. 1. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 3 to 8.

(The House divided on Motion No. 1, which was negatived on the following division:)

Vote #19

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare Motion No. 1 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 3 to 8 defeated.

The next question is on Motion No. 9.

During the taking of the vote:

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

We are now calling for the nays on Motion No. 9.

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

As is the practice, I did call for the yeas. When no one else stood—

[An hon. member]

We are a long way from you here.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

Sometimes it does feel like there is a great distance between us, but that aside, the normal practice is that unless there is unanimous consent of the House, once we go through the yeas, we move on to the nays. We will continue going through the nays. Are there any other nays who wish to stand and have their vote recorded as nay on Motion No. 9?

I declare Motion No. 9 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 10 to 13 and 15 to 17 defeated.

The hon. member for Random—Burin—St. George's is rising on a point of order.

[Judy Foote, Liberal, Random—Burin—St. George's, NL]

Mr. Speaker, I would ask for the unanimous consent of the House to allow us to vote. We did not hear you call for yeas. Otherwise, we would have stood in support of the motion.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I am not sure if maybe the spirit of the season has affected the chamber yet, but is there consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

(The House divided on Motion No. 9, which was negatived on the following division:)

Vote #20

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare Motion No. 9 defeated. I therefore declare Motions Nos. 10 to 13 and 15 to 17 defeated.

The next question is on Motion No. 14. A vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 18.

(The House divided on the Motion No. 14, which was negatived on the following division:)

Vote #21
