Government Orders

Even if the vote was finished, members must remain in the chamber until the result of the vote is announced. The hon. member's vote will have to be withdrawn. This does not change the result, clearly. I would also like to point out that it is the first time in my experience in the chamber, which has been long, that I have seen props during votes. I want to make sure everyone is aware that it is no…

Government Orders

I would like to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded division, the time provided for Government Orders will be extended by 13 minutes.

Government Orders

Unfortunately, members must remain in their seat when voting in the chamber. We cannot register the member's vote, which he said was in favour. I wish to inform the House that because of the ministerial statement and the deferred recorded division, the time provided for Government Orders will be extended by 11 minutes.

Routine Proceedings

There is a point of order from the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.

Routine Proceedings

Typically, we are aiming for interventions of about 60 seconds when introducing a private member's bill, and the hon. member had not reached the 60-second mark. She has a bit of time left, but not much more. The member for Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola is rising on a point of order.

Routine Proceedings

I will give the member a bit more time, but not from the top. Please, go ahead.

Government Orders

I wish to mention that we have just enough time for a very brief question and a very brief answer. This would mean 15 or 20 seconds. The hon. member for Pontiac.

Oral Questions

The hon. member knows that he cannot use a prop. The hon. member has 15 seconds left. We will start the clock again.

Oral Questions

The hon. member for Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis has the floor.

Government Orders

Could the hon. member for Honoré-Mercier clarify where he voted?

Oral Questions

I could not hear. I am trying my best, but it is very hard sometimes, so the hon. minister can start from the top because I really did not catch anything he was saying.

Oral Questions

The hon. member for Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.

Oral Questions

I would remind members to speak through the Chair. The hon. member for York—Durham.

Oral Questions

The hon. member for York—Durham.

Oral Questions

I would be happy to do so. Members have to be careful about making such comments. As I said last week, it is one way to put it, but it may not be the best way to put it in the House. The point that the member for Berthier—Maskinongé raised is duly noted.

Oral Questions

I wish to draw the attention of members to the presence in the gallery of the Hon. René Legacy, Deputy Premier, Minister of Finance and Treasury Board and Minister of Energy for the Province of New Brunswick. I also wish to draw the attention of members to the presence in the gallery of the Hon. Jean-Claude D'Amours, Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, Minister of Intergover…

Government Orders

I declare the motion lost.

Routine Proceedings

Before I proceed, I will say that there are many private members' bills being introduced in the next few minutes, and I would just remind members to be succinct. That generally means about 60 seconds. The hon. member for Edmonton Manning has the floor.

Oral Questions

The hon. Leader of the Opposition.

Oral Questions

As the member knows, we cannot suggest that somebody was present or not in the House. I am assuming he meant it in a very vague way and that it had something to do with something else. I will give that warning to the member. The hon. member for Saint‑Jean.

Government Orders

I declare the motion carried. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. (Bill read the second time and referred to a committee) I wish to inform the House that because of the ministerial statement and the deferred recorded divisions, the time provided for Government Orders will be extended by 24 minutes.

Government Orders

The House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion at the second reading stage of Bill C-3.

Routine Proceedings

Can the member wrap up fairly quickly?

Routine Proceedings

We have to move on now. I know it is a very important bill and the member is very sincere about presenting it, but we do have to be succinct. (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)

Routine Proceedings

Is that agreed?

Oral Questions

The hon. member for Vaughan—Woodbridge.

Oral Questions

I must interrupt the parliamentary secretary. The hon. member for Hastings—Lennox and Addington—Tyendinaga.

Oral Questions

When there are interruptions like this, I cannot really follow the clock, so I have no control over how much time I give for the answer. I would ask the secretary of state to start from the top.

Oral Questions

The hon. member did not finish his answer. He may stand up again.

Oral Questions

Hon. colleagues, thank you very much for your words in tribute to our friend and colleague, the Hon. Ken Dryden. As you said, we owe a great deal to our former colleague for the great moments he gave us on the ice, in his writings and right here in the House of Commons. He was a man for all seasons, who contributed to this country and its identity in so many profound ways. As a hockey hero, lawyer…
