It being 3:17 p.m., the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion at second reading stage of Bill C-225, under Private Members' Business.
As this is the first recorded division to be taken on an item of Private Members' Business in this Parliament, I would like to take this opportunity to explain the procedure.
The recorded division will be taken row by row, beginning with the sponsor of the item, whether the member is participating in person or by video conference. Then I will ask the other members who are in favour of the motion to please rise, beginning with the back row on the side of the House on which the sponsor sits. If a member is participating by video conference, they will indicate whether they are voting for or against the motion when their name is called. This is consistent with the practice that was in place before the electronic voting system was launched.
After we have gone through all the rows on this side of the House, the hon. members on the other side of the House will have their turn to vote, starting again with the back row. Those opposed to the motion will be called in the same order. Unless members are present in the chamber, all members, including the sponsor, will cast their votes using the electronic voting system or by raising their hand at the end of the vote in the event of technical difficulties.
