Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As we just passed midnight, I was hoping we could take a moment, in a non-partisan way, to thank the clerks, the pages, and the guards, all those who are providing us comfort and security. It is important that we, as a chamber, recognize them.

Although I am sure we all appreciate the sentiment of the hon. member for the staff who are here overnight, I would indicate that only matters concerning voting can be raised as a point of order during a vote.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I just have a quick question about what the rules are while a vote is happening. I noticed there were some members wandering around the chamber while the vote count was still ticking down. Other members came in after that period was over, and that is fine. There are some other members who chose to be mobile in other ways just now. I am wondering, while the vote is actually happening, if we are free to roam the chamber. If we are not, then I think somebody should tell the Conservative House leader.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. If people are voting in the chamber, they must stay in their seat until the vote is announced. If people are going out into the lobby or elsewhere to vote from their app, there is nothing against the rules in coming back in so they are ready for the next vote in the chamber. That is what is going on. Why was the member for Kingston and the Islands just outside the door taking pictures of us all? Where is he right now? I do not know.
