Mr. Chair, tonight, which will soon be the morning of March 23, despite what it says on the table, I would like to ask the President of the Treasury Board whether the documents tabled are consistent with his budgetary policy.

[Scott Brison, Liberal, Kings—Hants, NS]

Mr. Chair, the form of this bill is the same as that passed in the previous supply period.

[The Chair, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

Shall clause 2 carry?

[Some hon. member]

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Chair, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

All those in favour of clause 2 will please say yea.

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Chair, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

All those opposed will please say nay.

Nay.

[The Chair, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

In my opinion the yeas have it.

I would like to remind hon. members that voting will begin with the Chair asking those members who are in favour of the motion to all rise, row by row. As the clerk counts the members on my right, they will sit down row by row, followed by those members in the rows to my left. Later, I will ask those members who are opposed to the motion to all rise. Again, the clerk will count the members in the rows to my right, ending with those members opposed in the rows to my left.
