Statements in the House

Excise Tax Act December 10th, 1996

Mr. Speaker, you will find there is unanimous agreement for members who voted on the previous motion to be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting yes.

Tobacco Act December 5th, 1996

I take this opportunity to congratulate you, to congratulate the Speaker, Mr. Parent, and all the members of his team.

Tobacco Act December 5th, 1996

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would submit to the House that the hon. member for Laurier-Sainte-Marie does not have a point of order. I do not think it is becoming of any parliamentarian to demonstrate any favouritism or otherwise toward any occupant of the Chair. All occupants of the Chair enjoy the same privileges, the same authority, the same courtesies and the same respect from all parliamentarians.

Points Of Order December 4th, 1996

Mr. Speaker, with the greatest of respect, I would submit that is not a point of order. If the member wishes to have a better read of what was offered by the parliamentary secretary he could read Hansard tomorrow. It will be there word for word verbatim.

Manganese-Based Fuel Additives Act December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, you will find there is unanimous consent that those members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting yes.

Manganese-Based Fuel Additives Act December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, I will try one more time for unanimous consent to apply the results of the vote on the subamendment to the vote presently before the House which is on the amendment.

Manganese-Based Fuel Additives Act December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, if the House would agree I would propose that you seek unanimous consent that members who voted on the previous motion be recorded as having voted on the motion now before the House, with Liberal members voting nay.

Ways And Means December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, if the House would agree, I propose that there would be unanimous consent that we apply the results of the previous vote taken on ways and means Motion No. 10 to ways and means Motion No. 12.

Ways And Means December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, I think you would find that there is agreement with the whips of the official opposition and the Reform Party that the votes on the ways and means motions be deferred until 1.15 p.m. with a 15-minute bell. Over and above ways and means Motions Nos. 10 and 12, we would also deal with the votes on third reading of Bill C-29 which originally had been deferred until later this day. They will also take place at 1.15 this afternoon.

Impaired Driving December 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, I wonder if it might be helpful to the House if the hon. member in whose name the motion stands might very briefly clarify the point of order raised by the minister. In fact, it possibly may even enhance his own motion.
