Before the Clerk announced the results of the vote:

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2018-19

[Tom Kmiec, Conservative, Calgary Shepard, AB]

Good morning, Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. After the question had been read, I observed the member for Laval—Les Îles enter the chamber during the voice call. I do not believe he is eligible to vote if he did not hear the question. If you would please rule on that matter.

[The Speaker, Geoff Regan]

I congratulate the hon. member for knowing the riding name of the member. That is very good.

The hon. member for Laval—Les Îles has the floor to clarify.

[Fayçal El-Khoury, Liberal, Laval—Les Îles, QC]

Mr. Speaker, I believe I heard the question, but I was behind the curtain.

[The Speaker, Geoff Regan]

Order. Some members are suggesting that he should repeat the question, but that is not necessary.

I thank the hon. member.
