I thank the hon. member. When there is a point of order, one does tend to listen to it. There should be a connection to the Standing Orders and to the precedence of this House. I think we have dealt with the point of order at hand, so I give the floor back to the hon. parliamentary secretary.

The Speaker

  • Watch
I declare the motion carried. The member from Regina raised a very good point, and it has been made before by a colleague in the House. I thank the colleague for making this point. When it comes to votes, I ask that colleagues follow the instructions of their whips and their House leaders so that they either quickly move out of the House to conduct their vote electronically or take their seats as the two main whips take their seats. This is so that it is very clear who is going to be participating in the vote in person. There will be a time when the matter will be a matter of confidence, and it is important that the Table and the Chair are entirely convinced of the eligibility of members to vote. I ask members to please, when there is a deferred vote after question period, make themselves scarce and leave the room if they do not wish to participate in the vote in person. I wish to inform the House that, because of the deferred recorded division, Government Orders will be extended by 13 minutes. One of my favourite times of the week is inviting the hon. House leader of the official opposition to ask the Thursday question.
