Concurrence in Vote 1—Canadian Museum for Human Rights

[Some hon. members]

Yea.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

In my opinion the yeas have it.

And five or more members having risen:

(The House divided on Motion No. 25, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #1099

Interim Estimates

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I declare Motion No. 25 carried.

The hon. member for Carleton on a point of order.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is now 5:30 in the morning. Members of the government are absolutely exhausted. They are ornery, they are angry, they are losing control of themselves and they have been begging for an end to this.

I believe there is an opportunity for a compromise here that can allow us to bring this marathon voting to an end. I ask for the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion: That members on all sides of the House of Commons agree that all witnesses implicated in the SNC-Lavalin scandal be invited to testify at the ethics committee, including the Prime Minister, the former attorney general, the former president of the Treasury board, and that in that spirit, members come together to agree to an expedited consideration of the votes before us so members may put an end to this marathon.

This is a reasonable compromise that offers something to everyone. It is very simple. We will let the Liberals sleep when they let her speak.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

Does the hon. member have the unanimous consent of the House to move the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[Pablo Rodriguez, Liberal, Honoré-Mercier, QC]

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

The next question is on Motion No. 26. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

All those in favour of the motion will please say yea.

[Some hon. members]

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

In my opinion the yeas have it.

And five or more members having risen:

(The House divided on Motion No. 26, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #1100

Interim Estimates

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I declare Motion No. 26 carried.

[Ted Falk, Conservative, Provencher, MB]

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I just noticed the new member for Outremont left her seat before the results of the vote were read.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

In order for a person's vote to count, the member has to be in her or his seat from the start to the finish of the vote. Therefore, the member's vote will be struck from the tally.
