Debates of Jan. 28th, 2015

Protection of Canada from Terrorists Act

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

Mr. Speaker, I am in the same position as my friend, the member for Ahuntsic. When the members in favour were called upon to rise, the vote was cut off to move to the members opposed. A number of members were not able to rise. It is difficult to rise to vote in this corner. I would like to record my vote and the vote of the member for Thunder Bay—Superior North. We support the NDP motion.

[The Speaker, Andrew Scheer]

I can assure the members of the House that the table officers take every effort to make sure that they conduct the vote at a pace where members have the opportunity to vote, but it is incumbent on members to follow along and make sure they do stand at the appropriate time. In the spirit of generosity, this being the first week back, maybe there will be unanimous consent to allow the members to have their vote cast as yes. Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

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

Vote #313
