House of Commons Hansard #56 of the 43rd Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was continue.
Mark Holland Liberal Ajax, ON
Madam Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties, and if you seek it, I believe you will find consent, perhaps even enthusiasm and urgency, for the following motion.
I move:
That in the interests of health and safety the House suspend for no more than 15 minutes; and,
That the 15 minutes include a 10-minute bell to call back the members so the House can then resume the taking of the remaining recorded divisions.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès) Liberal Alexandra Mendes
All those opposed to the hon. member moving the motion will please say nay.
I hear none. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed will please say nay.
I hear none.
(Motion agreed to)
I want to remind all members to remain connected to Zoom during the break.
Claude DeBellefeuille Bloc Salaberry—Suroît, QC
Madam Speaker, the voting process is long. The least members who are voting by Zoom can do is keep their cameras on. There are two members, one from the government side and another from the Conservative side, who have their cameras off. Could you remind everyone?
The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès) Liberal Alexandra Mendes
I thank the hon. member for Salaberry—Suroît. I remind all members that they must leave their cameras on during the 15-minute break.
The sitting is suspended.
(The sitting of the House was suspended at 5:39 p.m.)
(The House resumed at 5:55 p.m.)
The House resumed from February 1 consideration of the motion that Bill C-208, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (transfer of small business or family farm or fishing corporation), be read the second time and referred to a committee.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
The House will now proceed to the taking deferred recorded division on the motion at second reading stage of Bill C-208.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
I declare the motion carried. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on Finance.
(Bill read the second time and referred to a committee)
The House resumed from February 2 consideration of the motion that Bill C-215, An Act respecting Canada’s fulfillment of its greenhouse gas emissions reduction obligations, be read the second time and referred to a committee.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
Pursuant to an order made on Monday, January 25, the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion at second reading stage of Bill C-215.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
The hon. member for Regina—Lewvan is rising.
Before the Clerk announced the results of the vote:
Warren Steinley Conservative Regina—Lewvan, SK
Madam Speaker, I did make a mistake and I would like to vote against the motion, not for the motion.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
The hon. member needs unanimous consent to change his vote. Does the hon. member have unanimous consent from the members?
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
The hon. member unfortunately does not have unanimous consent.

An hon. member
That cuts both ways next time.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
There is no going back and forth. It is strictly on votes. The questions was asked and it was answered, unless there is a point of order somewhere, and even then it has to be on the technical side.
Blake Richards Conservative Banff—Airdrie, AB
Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I would just remind members that we generally do extend this courtesy to each other in this House. Earlier tonight, a member of another party was extended this courtesy. We did not say no. I certainly hope that if the member were to try again, he would—
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
Unfortunately, that is not a point of order, but a point of debate.
The hon. member for Yorkton—Melville has a point of order, if it is on technicalities here.
Cathay Wagantall Conservative Yorkton—Melville, SK
Madam Speaker, we are working on another app that allows us to make a change in our vote. I appreciate that it is during the vote, but regardless, this seems very—
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
That is a point of debate and not a technical issue. I will certainly ensure that those comments are reflected to the Speaker himself, and at this point the rules before the House are that the app is not in order yet. Therefore, the question was asked and the answer was posed.
The hon. member for Regina—Lewvan has a point of order. Is it on a technical piece?
Warren Steinley Conservative Regina—Lewvan, SK
Yes, Madam Speaker. I would ask for unanimous consent, because I did say “pour, for” and I meant to say “no, contre. I was working on my speech, so I would ask my colleagues to please understand what happened.
The Assistant Deputy Speaker NDP Carol Hughes
Again, given the response that the member gave, I would ask whether the hon. member has unanimous consent to change his vote.
