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.

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.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. My understanding, and it is actually fairly clear, is that if someone is voting inside the chamber, they are supposed to be staying in their seat from the moment in which— An hon. member: Oh, oh!

Patience. Mr. Speaker, I know it is getting a little late for some, but members should have patience. If someone is voting inside the chamber, they take their seat and listen to the vote; they have to stay in their seat until after the vote total has been given. If someone is voting virtually, the expectation is that they will be outside the chamber. Yes, they can come in 30 seconds or a minute or so after and take their seat. They are not to wander around like the opposition House leader and other members were doing. It is expected that people would not abuse the opportunity to exercise their vote on the voting app.
