Debates of April 17th, 2013

Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act

[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 hon. member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley is rising on a point of order.

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

Quickly, because I do not want to interrupt the vote, and I may have heard it incorrectly. Did Mr. Penashue second the bill?

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

That is right, at second reading.

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

Can he second a vote, historically speaking?

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

That is correct. At the time, he was both a member of the House and a member of cabinet. The motion at second reading was properly before the House.

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

It remains in his name even though he has been sent from the House?

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

That is correct.

(The House divided on the motion, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #660

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare the motion carried. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.

(Bill read the second time and referred to a committee)

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

The Chief Government Whip is rising on a point of order.

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

Mr. Speaker, for Bill S-2, the previous question, I believe that the member for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound arrived after the question had been read. I do not think his vote should have been recorded.

[Larry Miller, Conservative, Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON]

Mr. Speaker, that was on the very first vote. I was here for the last one. I did walk in; it was like walking into a parade or being a spectator, and I just joined the parade. My apologies.

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

Just to be clear, the hon. member's vote will not count for the previous question, but on the second reading vote he was in his place on time.

[Larry Miller, Conservative, Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON]

Yes, I was there for that one.

The House resumed from March 27 consideration of the motion, and of the amendment.

Hydroelectric Project

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

The question is on the amendment.

(The House divided on the amendment, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #661

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare the amendment carried.

The next question is on the main motion as amended.

(The House divided on the motion, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #662

[The Speaker, Conservative, Andrew Scheer]

I declare the motion carried.
