Mr. Speaker, if you check, you will find that the members voted against the motion.

Mr. Speaker, if you check, you will find that the members voted against the motion.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
Order, please. It has been our practice that when members do find themselves in a situation where they have inadvertently voted on both sides, they clarify to the House which was their intention. That has just been done by the hon. member for Hull—Aylmer, so we can move on.
John Williamson Conservative New Brunswick Southwest, NB
Mr. Speaker, I do not mean to challenge you, but there are many bills for which I would like to vote on both sides when I go home and tell my voters that I voted with them.
However, the fact is that it is very unclear. Mr. Speaker, you cannot allow members to vote one way and then appear to vote the other way without a correction. We typically expect that of members as we have in the past. The rules of the House have to apply to all of us equally.
I ask that they stand and record their votes properly, as my seatmate had to some time ago.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
I am sure the member's seatmate appreciates that. I know it is getting into the middle days of June and that has strange effects on some people. It is pretty straightforward. It will not be counted as a vote; it is a clarification. If the member wants to go one by one, I do not know what the advantage is to the House.
The whip for the official opposition, as is often our practice, has indicated which way the votes are meant to be cast. Unless there is a member who wants to contradict his or her whip, he or she can feel free to do that now. Otherwise, we will move on to the next question.
I hope the hon. member for Winnipeg North has a comment on a new point. I have made my ruling on this.
Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, just to give a bit of a difference in perspective, as individuals—
The House resumed from June 7 consideration of the motion that Bill C-60, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013 and other measures, be read the third time and passed, and of the amendment.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the amendment of the motion at third reading stage of Bill C-60.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
I declare the amendment defeated.
The next question is on the main motion.
Gordon O'Connor Conservative Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON
Mr. Speaker, if you seek it, I believe you will find agreement to apply the results of the previous motion to the current motion, with the Conservatives voting yes.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
There does not seem to be consent.
The next question is on the main motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
In my opinion the nays have it.
And five or more members having risen:
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
I declare the motion carried.
(Bill read the third time and passed)
Peter MacKay Conservative Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, I have a point of order arising from today's question period. In a question, the member for Scarborough—Guildwood made a definitive statement that a member of the Canadian Forces, Corporal Kirkland, had been released from the Canadian Forces.
I can now confirm that is not the case. There were papers signed and explained to him that had to do with his future career. He wilfully signed those papers, but I can confirm that he has not been released from the Canadian Armed Forces.
John McKay Liberal Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, I actually have my hands on these papers. I really do not want to get into what is essentially confidential information, but I would think that the minister would prefer to read this document and make his assessment as to whether Corporal Kirkland, when he returned to CFB Shilo, was in fact offered his military discharge.
The Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
This sounds like material for a future question period, perhaps. I am not sure it is a point of order.
