Debates of Dec. 7th, 2023

Concurrence in Vote 10b—Department of Industry

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès), Alexandra Mendes]

Order. The hon. Leader of the Opposition should know that we cannot introduce points of order while we are holding a vote. This vote has not finished.

(The House divided on Motion No. 53, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #534

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2023-24

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès), Alexandra Mendes]

I declare the motion carried.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I believe that, if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the motion that all divisions related to the business of supply be adopted on division provided that the House send a message to the Senate demanding that they pass Bill C-234—

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès), Alexandra Mendes]

There is no consent, so we have to proceed.

Concurrence in Vote 1b—Department of National Defence

[Anita Anand, Liberal, President of the Treasury Board]

moved:

That Vote 1b, in the amount of $779,448,765, under Department of National Defence — Operating expenditures, in the Supplementary Estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, be concurred in.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Alexandra Mendès), Alexandra Mendes]

The next question is on Motion No. 54.

If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

Madam Speaker, this vote is to directly provide military aid to Ukraine through Operation Unifier. I definitely request a recorded division, and I encourage Conservatives to change their vote.

(The House divided on Motion No. 54, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #535

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2023-24

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I declare the motion carried.

Concurrence in Vote 5b—Department of National Defence

[Anita Anand, Liberal, President of the Treasury Board]

moved:

That Vote 5b, in the amount of $233,356, under Department of National Defence — Capital expenditures, in the Supplementary Estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, be concurred in.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

The next question is on Motion No. 55.

If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Madam Speaker, Conservatives believe we should be doing much more for Ukraine, including being consistent on sanctions and not sending turbines back. That is why we want a recorded division.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I remind members not to make points of debate. This is just to ask whether members want a recorded division.

(The House divided on Motion No. 55, which was agreed to on the following division:)

Vote #536

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2023-24

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I declare the motion carried.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I believe if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That the House acknowledge that Canadians cannot afford—

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I would suggest that when members are looking for unanimous consent, they consult. That obviously was not done because hon. members are already saying no.

Concurrence in Vote 10b—Department of National Defence

[Anita Anand, Liberal, President of the Treasury Board]

moved:

That Vote 10b, in the amount of $623,800,000, under Department of National Defence — Grants, in the Supplementary Estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, be concurred in.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

The next question is on Motion No. 56.

If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

[Lindsay Mathyssen, NDP, London—Fanshawe, ON]

Madam Speaker, it is only prudent to give the official opposition another chance, as this vote will have about $500 million of aid for Ukraine included in it. I would ask for a recorded division.

[The Assistant Deputy Speaker, Carol Hughes]

I would remind members to just ask for a recorded division. It would be a lot easier and we would not have so much back-and-forth.
