Is the hon. member for Nipissing—Timiskaming rising on a point of order?
Anthony Rota Liberal Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Yes, Mr. Speaker. My intent was to vote in opposition to the bill, and unfortunately there was some confusion in the room. I would like my vote registered as opposed.
The Speaker Liberal Geoff Regan
In a moment I am going to be asking for unanimous consent for two people it looks like.
Is the hon. member for Saint-Laurent rising on a point of order?
Emmanuella Lambropoulos Liberal Saint-Laurent, QC
Yes, Mr. Speaker. I would like my vote to be recorded as opposed.
The Speaker Liberal Geoff Regan
Is there unanimous consent in the House for the members to change their votes?

The Speaker Liberal Geoff Regan
The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the amendment of the member for Durham to Motion No. 128 under private members' business.
The Speaker Liberal Geoff Regan
Could I confirm that the seven members in the back all intended to vote yes? The hon. member for Cariboo—Prince George is suggesting I name them. I am not going to do that, because they voted quietly.
I am going to assume that it is agreed.
