Mr Pouliot: There is a huge difference, Mr Speaker.

The Acting Chair: Oh, hope he's not watching.

Interjection: Especially at the end of every month.

Mr Pouliot: Mr Speaker, I heard either a sigh of relief on you, but I wonder about your health --

The Acting Chair: Well, my health is just fine.

Mr Pouliot: -- if you're well. There's this "ho" and then the name of the street on the previous motion.

The Acting Chair: Sometimes there's a little pronunciation problem, and I hesitate with the pronunciation.

Mr Pouliot: Nipissing.

Mrs Lyn McLeod (Fort William): Are you not making an assumption, Mr Chair, by pointing to each side in the question?

The Second Deputy Chair: Well, I --

Interjection: It's pretty reliable.

The Second Deputy Chair: I guess I just want to be sure I don't make a mistake.

Interjection: Don't worry.

The Second Deputy Chair: But if you don't want it, I won't.

Mrs McLeod: Well, I just thought it might -- for interest, you might want to refer to "all those in favour, say `aye'" with this hand and "all those --

The Second Deputy Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lesgay Crescent, l-e-s-g-a-y. All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lesmill Road, l-e-s-m-i-l-l. All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it.

NDP motion --

Mrs McLeod: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I don't believe you called that as a deferred vote and I believe five people were standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, I'm sorry. That vote, Lesmill, is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lesmount Avenue, l-e-s-m-o-u-n-t. All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

There are too many standing. If there are too many people standing on this side, I can't tell when you're just standing to record your wish to have a division or whether you have a point order.

Mr Michael A. Brown (Algoma-Manitoulin): I much appreciate that, Mr Speaker.

The Second Deputy Chair: I recognize the member for Algoma-Manitoulin on a point of order.

Mr Michael Brown: I don't believe on the last vote you asked if the motion would carry.

Mr Bud Wildman (Algoma): You're skipping a line.

The Second Deputy Chair: Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't done that since I came this morning. I'm sorry, I haven't.

Mr Michael Brown: I think that's part of the procedure, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: I would like to address the member for Algoma-Manitoulin on a point of order. It is a point of order. I'm advised by the very best help available in this entire building that indeed I should put the question, "Is it the wish of this committee this motion carry?" and then if it's carried I don't have to go through with the rest. In terms of expediting it, I've been leaving that out. I've done, I think, over a thousand of these and I've never had that occasion come yet, so I just thought it would expedite things to eliminate that. I would ask for unanimous consent for that.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I have to have order here. I'm trying to address a point of order over here and I can't have this chattering back and forth.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. Would the member in his wrong seat and the member for Lake Nipigon come to order. Would you please come to order.

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order, I warned the member for Lake Nipigon once. I will not warn you again. I'm addressing a point of order. It's a very important part of this process that it be done properly. I don't want to make a mistake and I'm sure nobody else does.

To finish the point of order from the member for Algoma-Manitoulin: Because it is not used in committee and we're in committee of the whole, I thought it wasn't necessary here. I have obviously blundered. I'm sorry and I will correct it. That's not my only blunder this morning; I've made others and I will make more. I slept in. I'm not infallible. I will do the best to my knowledge to do everything that is right and proper. Does that satisfy your point of order? Are you getting up on something else?

Mr Michael Brown: Yes, thank you. The House needs to understand that there is a reason why we go through the procedure --

The Second Deputy Chair: No, no, I'm sorry. That is not a point of order.

Mrs McLeod: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I just wanted you to clarify the ruling you've given us. I realize some of these things may become rather rote after a while. I thought I was following it fairly closely and I believe you were calling for the question to be carried, whether the committee would carry the question, up until the last two votes. I attempted to interject on the second-last, so I think you have been doing it as we have been following procedure.

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: I am addressing the member for Fort William. I've only done 11 this morning. Like I said, I overslept. I apologize. We can come to a standstill and I can check that for you.

Mrs McLeod: No need. I just think you have been.

The Second Deputy Chair: Because I am fallible; I have made mistakes. I will almost guarantee that of those 11 I have not done one yet. But I've already explained to the member for Algoma-Manitoulin that I will, and if that's enough, then I would like not to have to go into this any more. I'd like to get on with it. Would that be the wish of everybody here?

Mrs McLeod: Mr Chair, I wasn't suggesting we suspend the proceedings to check the record. I just think you're less fallible than you were suggesting you were.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order.

Mrs McLeod: I was under the impression, Mr Chair, you were doing yourself an injustice by thinking you hadn't followed that procedure all morning. I have no need for you --

The Second Deputy Chair: You were using the "fallible."

Mrs McLeod: I just said you were less fallible than you were suggesting that you were, because you hadn't made the mistake, in my view, earlier on, so no need to correct the record any further.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'll take that in the sense that it was said.

Mr Michael Brown: On a point of order, Mr Chair: Just so we could have this clarified, when the question has not been asked properly, does that affect the vote? I want to know because this could have some ramifications. Clearly we could find a way to maybe fix that if that is the problem.

The Second Deputy Chair: That is not a point of order.

Mr Michael Brown: It isn't?

The Second Deputy Chair: I would like to explain that, if I can, just to clear it up. A point of order is if we're doing something wrong. You stood up and had a point of order that I was doing something wrong. Fine. Right now, you're standing up and we haven't done anything, so how could I do anything wrong?

Mr Michael Brown: On a point of order, Mr Chair: All I was trying to do was to be helpful so that we could understand if the standing order had not --

The Second Deputy Chair: Please take your seat. That is not a point of order, but I'm going to explain because I want to get things right and I want to do things properly; that's my job. I know what your point is and I want to explain the point. First of all, it's not a point of order, but I'm going to explain. The point of order is that we're doing something wrong, so I'm not willing to take a question on a hypothetical thing -- "What if you make a mistake in the future? What if you made a mistake in the past?"

0820

If I made a mistake in the past and it's the wish of any member to bring that as a point of order, then by all means bring it up and we'll get it over with and we'll get on. We'll expedite things and we'll get to where we want to go. I was brought up to say that's what the end of the job is.

But this is not question period. You can't ask me, "What will happen?" "What has happened?" "What about...?" or anything else. If I'm doing something wrong, that's a point of order. I will want it to be brought up. Are we clear?

Mr Silipo: This side is clear.

The Second Deputy Chair: Is there anybody else who's not clear? Can I explain it any better so that every person in this House will know exactly the way we want to do it?

Interjection: We're clear. Everyone's clear.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order.

This is an NDP motion, subsection 24(4) Lesskim Court, l-e-s-s-k-i-m. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, Lester Avenue, l-e-s-t-e-r. Shall the motion carry. All those is favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair: I would like to withdraw the following amendment, which deals with Lester B. Pearson International. While it's an important airport, I don't believe it's a street, so we will withdraw that.

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes, that is a point of order and I shall withdraw it.

I would like to make a request, and that is that we dispense with withdrawing them. It's faster for me to just go through and do them in their improper form.

Mr Silipo: It may be faster, but I think it would be appropriate that if we have an amendment that we don't think is appropriate we withdraw it as opposed to having a vote on it.

The Second Deputy Chair: If you don't want to do it in the fastest way possible, we'll expedite but we'll do it properly. That's your point?

Mr Silipo: That's my point.

The Second Deputy Chair: That should be all our point. It is done.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lesterwood Crescent, l-e-s-t-e-r-w-o-o-d. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Leswyn Road, l-e-s-w-y-n. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Letchworth Crescent, l-e-t-c-h-w-o-r-t-h. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

Mr Pouliot: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I do not believe the House is duly constituted. Quorum call, please.

The Second Deputy Chair: Are you asking me to ascertain that?

Mr Pouliot: Yes, I'm asking that quorum be taken.

The Second Deputy Chair: Would you determine if there is a quorum.

Clerk at the Table (Ms Lisa Freedman): A quorum is not present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair ordered the bells rung.

Clerk at the Table: A quorum is now present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lethbridge Avenue.

Mr Steve Gilchrist (Scarborough East): On a point of order, Chair: In the interests of both your voice and time, the Chair had ruled yesterday, in allowing the abbreviation of these, that they need not be spelled unless asked for, and even then his presumption was that would only be occasional, in the case of awkward words. I'm sure on behalf of our members we would be more than happy to have you dispense with the spelling of each of those names.

The Second Deputy Chair: Is it the wish of this committee I dispense with spelling the names? I'm sorry, there is not unanimous consent.

Mr Gilchrist: On a point of order, Chair: With the greatest respect, the Chair said yesterday, and it's not something subject for unanimous consent opposite, that it was not necessary and they would have to ask for it when necessary.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I'm addressing the member for Scarborough East on a very important point of order and my ruling is that is not a point of order because it has been ruled on before. You may appeal my decision, but that is my ruling.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order, please. I'd like to get on with this. I'd like to get this expedited. Right now I think I have as many ticks off for motions passing as I do points of order, and that is not expediting this in the best parliamentary manner.

Shall the motion carry? Shall the motion carry? I'm sorry, I'm asking the question. It was deemed by this committee that it is very important that I ask the question, "Shall the motion carry?" There were people talking. There was no response to it --

Mr Silipo: Yes, there was.

The Second Deputy Chair: Pardon me, there was no response until I asked it for the second time. I have to have the attention. If it's important that I read it, that I say it, it's important that it be answered. I want to give every chance that this is fair and I don't think I should have to do it twice.

For the third time, shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Leuty Avenue, l-e-u-t-y. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Leverhume Crescent, l-e-v-e-r-h-u-m-e. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed -- Order. The member for Algoma-Manitoulin is rising on --

Mr Michael Brown: No, just stretching my legs.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, I have one member who is stretching -- maybe if you would do it one at a time. No, the member for Nickel Belt, you are stretching yours first. If you would do it one at a time -- this is kind of a tedious task. I try to use all my senses: my eyesight, my hearing, my voice. When I look around, I see people standing, I hear a little bit of noise and I think they're on a point of order. I don't think we should have to stop every motion for an interruption of that sort. I'm not ruling that you can't ever stand up and stretch your legs. I'm saying that if you need five to be standing, maybe if you did it one at a time, that would be reasonable.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Mr Chair: I'd like to withdraw the following amendment, which just has the word "Lewis" on it. The one that follows has "Lewis Street," so this is a duplicate, an error.

The Second Deputy Chair: How are you spelling that?

Mr Silipo: L-e-w-i-s. That's all that's there. There's no street designation.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Mr Chair: Sorry, I was just a bit slow on this. It's the same issue here. I would like to withdraw the amendment that you're about to read on Leyton, l-e-y-t-o-n, because the following one is Leyton Avenue.

The Second Deputy Chair: It's done.

Mrs McLeod: No, Chair, I don't.

The Second Deputy Chair: Well, it is confusing to me.

Mrs McLeod: I appreciate that. I will endeavour to make sure that when you're looking, I will not be talking.

The Second Deputy Chair: That's the only time, if you're standing and talking. I can only do three or four things at a time.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lilywood Road, l-i-l-y-w-o-o-d. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lime Treeway, l-i-m-e. Do you want "Treeway" spelled as well? No. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

The member for Wilson Heights, you're standing. Are you stretching your legs too?

Mr Monte Kwinter (Wilson Heights): I'm standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: I have a problem. We've had some members standing and stretching their legs. My wish is that only one be standing and stretching at a time. I like to catch five members standing, and if I don't know if they're standing just to stretch their legs or because they're on a point of order, it is just a little bit disconcerting.

Mr Kwinter: Mr Chair, are you raising a point of order?

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I'm just saying what would be very helpful to expediting this in the most parliamentary manner.

Mr Kwinter: On a point of order, Mr Chair: Yesterday during a similar situation the Chair at the time ruled that because, when she was reading she wasn't doing anything else and couldn't see anybody, as long as when she looked up she saw people standing, she'd consider that people were standing. As a result, many of us during the night decided it was a lot easier for everybody if we just stayed standing, that it did not interfere in any way with the Chair, who was busy reading the amendment and then looked up and could count at least five bodies standing, and that was it. It was on that ruling that I'm standing. If you want to change that ruling, I'd be happy to accede to your wishes.

The Second Deputy Chair: Are you standing now?

Mr Kwinter: I'm absolutely standing now.

The Second Deputy Chair: Then you weren't standing before.

Mr Kwinter: To my knowledge I've been standing all the time that I've been standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: I want to address this very clearly, I want to be very precise: I want to get this job done in the very best way that I can. Before you were still reading, you were slouching over, and when I look over I can -- I'm sorry, I may overlook you at some time and make a mistake because I won't count you as one of those five. If you're standing upright, that's fine.

That was a point of order. Have I addressed it in every reasonable way I can?

Mr Kwinter: Yes. Thank you.

The Second Deputy Chair: Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Limerick Avenue, l-i-m-e-r-i-c-k. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

You don't have to be facing me when you're standing, either.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Limestone Crescent, l-i-m-e-s-t-o-n-e --

Pardon me. There's someone standing and talking. That is very disconcerting to me.

Shall the motion carry? All those in favour -- shall the motion carry?

I asked the question twice. I don't want to make a mistake in this, but I don't think I should have to ask that question twice, to beg an answer for it. I don't want to be biased or overlook anything that I possibly can. When I ask the question, even if only one person says, "Carried," that's enough, and even if they say it a little bit tardily, that's okay, but I want to have a response.

L-i-m-e-s-t-o-n-e. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is -- the member for Dovercourt, are you standing?

Mr Silipo: I am standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: I can go as slow or as fast as you want, if that's the wish, to slow this down to a crawl.

The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Limevale Crescent, l-i-m-e-v-a-l-e -- the member for Dovercourt, I have requested on numerous occasions that when persons are standing, they don't talk unless --

Mr Silipo: I apologize.

The Second Deputy Chair: Accepted.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Limevale Crescent, l-i-m-e-v-a-l-e. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

The member for Dovercourt. I only need five members. Four won't do, so I'd like to include you, but when you're not standing in your place --

Mr Silipo: This is my place. I am standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm going to rule that you're going to have to be facing me --

Mr Silipo: You said before you didn't need people facing you, sir. That's why I'm doing it.

The Second Deputy Chair: I don't under usual circumstances. These are unusual because you also want to be able to talk and stand at the same time.

I'm sorry. I try to do the best I can. When I ask the question "Carried?" I'm having trouble always getting a response to that. I look up, I scan and I see five, and if you're doing something at the back and bending over and I miss you, I'm awfully concerned that I'll make a mistake. If there are mistakes made here -- I don't want to and I make lots of them and I'm sorry. I just wondered if there's any way that you can help me.

Mr Silipo: I'd be happy to help you, sir, if you could just clarify for me: Do you require members to stand facing you? I thought earlier you said it was acceptable that as long as we were standing in our place, it didn't matter whether we were facing you or facing another direction. That's why I haven't turned around. But if you require us to face you, I will do that.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, my question is, if you are leaning over, facing the other way, putting papers in a box or taking them out, then are you standing in your place? I will rule on it, if you want, but the point is I may make a mistake because of that because I don't include you. Then you're going to have some criticism of this Chair, and I want to leave absolutely no room for criticism, if I can possible help it.

Mr Silipo: I appreciate that. I will stand up straight. But I just want to be clear, as long as I'm standing straight, it doesn't matter which direction I'm facing?

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, this isn't question period. We're not going to enter into debate.

Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. This vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Linderwood Drive, l-i-n-d-e-r-w-o-o-d. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lindhill Island, l-i-n-d-h-i-l-l. Shall the motion carry? Shall the motion carry? It does not carry. I asked it twice. I got no "carried." It does not carry.

Mr Wildman: That's fine.

Mr Floyd Laughren (Nickel Belt): You are wrong in this case. You are dead wrong.

Mr Wildman: I said "carried."

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm thinking of ruling so you may have the freedom of the House, if that's in order.

Mr Silipo: Chair, what's going on? There was no challenge to you.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm looking for a ruling.

Mr Mario Sergio (Yorkview): But there was no challenge.

The Second Deputy Chair: Not yet.

Order. The ruling I'm seeking is whether or not I should be soliciting the response "Carried." Up until now I have always, without exception, every time, had the word "carried" given to me by someone. Only this morning have I ever solicited it. When I didn't hear it, I asked for it twice.

0850

A very experienced, respected member of this House indicated that I was doing something wrong, and I don't want to do that. In the fullest respect, I don't want to do that. I was seeking a ruling, and I want to address the member for Nickel Belt because he is absolutely right. I am absolutely wrong. I do not need to have the word "carried." I thank you for your help on that, because I thought that I wasn't hearing the word "carried." Indeed, I don't need the word "carried." So you can do whatever you like that way.

What I'm telling you is that I go by my senses. I look at things, I go by hearing, I look up to see. I'm trying to do this the very best I can and I didn't want to make a mistake, because I was about to rule that if I had to keep soliciting, I was not going to continue to do that, just on my own. Is that clear?

Mrs McLeod: May I ask for just one further clarification on it?

The Second Deputy Chair: No, it's not question period, but if you're rising on a point of order, then I recognize the member for Fort William.

Mrs McLeod: Yes, then, I am rising on a point of order in direct response to the point of order which I think you just placed, which was to ask whether or not the procedures are clear. It would be my understanding then that you will, as the other Chairs have followed procedure, when the motion is placed say, "Is it the pleasure of the committee that the motion carry?" and that if there is no dissenting voice, then the motion indeed is carried without further procedure. So you don't have to put ayes or nays. If there's no "yes," then you still have to go to ayes or nays, because it's only the dissent that would put it to the next stage in the procedure.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'll address that. If you're asking me for clarification, I don't mind giving it, but it's not a point of order.

Mrs McLeod: Mr Chair, with respect, I do believe that the order in which we carry out the voting procedure is a point of order, and so I'm just wanting to determine that.

The Second Deputy Chair: Absolutely, but asking me about it isn't.

Mrs McLeod: Determining under what rules of procedure we are carrying out our votes is a point of order.

The Second Deputy Chair: I've read a thousand of these. If I'm not doing it right, then stand in your place and bring it to a point and correct me, but I'm not willing to go through and explain and explain what I've been doing. Is that okay?

Mrs McLeod: Mr Chair, I'm not wanting to challenge you in any way. I wanted to be sure that we don't have to go through this on subsequent occasions, because as you've just said, there was about to have been a mistake made, which you corrected, and I appreciate that. You corrected that even though we had not challenged it, and I appreciate the fact that you yourself undertook to clarify the rules of procedure. Rather than wait for a point at which we would have to challenge, I just wanted to be sure that where there is no dissenting vote when you place the question, "Shall this motion be carried?" if you hear no dissenting vote, nobody says no, then the motion carries without any further placing of the ayes or nays, and I believe that is correct procedure.

I know that it would distress you very greatly, Mr Chairman, if a motion had to be called carried because there was not clarity in the procedure, since that has already happened once in the placing of these amendments, not when you were in the chair, but it has happened. It has significance, and I just want to be absolutely sure that we're clear on the circumstances under which a motion will be considered to be carried with no further steps, including the ayes or nays, and it would be if there was no dissenting voice when you place the question, "Shall this motion be carried?" At that point, if there is no "no," that motion is carried with no further steps. Since it does have significance, I think it's an important point of order to ensure that we are all in agreement as to how we're proceeding.

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes. I'd like to address that. This is not a point of order. Right now we are not in debate, so --

Mrs McLeod: All right, Mr Chair. I will withdraw it, and we will proceed and challenge should the occasion occur, but I believe that since I have not been corrected by point of order, my understanding of the proceedings is correct.

The Second Deputy Chair: No. I want to be very clear about that. Just because somebody gets up and says it and I don't challenge it, I do not accede to it either. If I don't say anything, that means that I have maybe deferred my decision or I've put it off or I'm retaining that right to contradict it or to agree to it later.

Mrs McLeod: That's fine, Mr Chair. You will reserve that right. I was trying to be helpful, but we will proceed, and should there be a point of challenge, I will make the challenge at the time.

The Second Deputy Chair: That would be the proper way.

This is an NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lindhill Island, l-i-n-d-h-i-l-l. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Order. Is the member for Lake Nipigon standing in his place? Then you have a point of order?

Mr Pouliot: No, because I would say "Point of order," and then you would recognize me for a point of order.

The Second Deputy Chair: With due respect, if you're standing in your place and talking, I have to know if it's a point of order. I have ruled that you may not stand in your place and talk. It's disconcerting to me, and I will not tolerate it.

Mr Pouliot: I understand that it would be disconcerting.

Mrs McLeod: Mr Chair, on a point of order: May I just determine whether you did hear a dissenting voice when you placed the question?

The Second Deputy Chair: I did. I'm going to rule that that is not a point of order, but I want to explain what I'm doing. I'm using my hearing for that. So if I don't hear it, I don't hear it, and if I do hear it I do hear it. So if I didn't hear a dissenting voice, I would not have proceeded.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Lionhead Trail. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it.

The First Deputy Chair (Ms Marilyn Churley): Good morning again. Before I begin, let me tell you that when I was here at 3 this morning I thought it was my 9 shift and I was halfway through the vote this morning when I looked at the clock and thought, What? I phoned three people from my office at 3 this morning and left messages on their machines saying, "Hi, it's 9 in the morning, blah blah blah blah blah" -- and woke them all up, I found out this morning. Anyway, having said that, let's get started.

Mr Ernie Hardeman (Oxford): That's why you kept referring to "this morning."

The First Deputy Chair: That's right. NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Littlewood Crescent. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. Deferred vote.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Littoral Place, l-i-t-t-o-r-a-l. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour please say "aye." All those opposed please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. Deferred vote.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Livingstone Avenue. All those in favour of the motion please say "aye." Those opposed please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote will be deferred.

Mr Pouliot: On a point of order, Chair: It has been the practice -- Livingstone Avenue has not been spelled. I don't wish to draw you into a spelling bee contest, Madame; however, for the edification of all of us, and those many, many who are listening on television, who are tuned to the parliamentary channel, it is important that people understand which street.

The First Deputy Chair: I'll tell you what I was doing when I came in for this new change in the reading at 3 this morning, which I thought was 9. I was spelling ones that I thought sounded unusual or not clear when I said them, and the ones that seemed to me to be obvious I was not spelling. That worked except on, I think, two or three occasions, when I was asked to spell ones I didn't. I'd prefer to keep going that way and if there's one that is not obvious and you want it spelled, just ask me. That's my ruling, member for Lake Nipigon.

Okay, we shall continue: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Livonia Place, l-i-v-o-n-i-a. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour please say "aye." Those opposed please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote will be deferred.

Mrs McLeod: On a point of order, Madam Chair.

The First Deputy Chair: I want to continue the vote. I'm in the middle of a vote.

The vote will be deferred.

Yes, now I'm finished the vote. Point of order?

Mrs McLeod: Yes, I just wanted to ask about the rules of order governing the recordings in Hansard. It's my understanding, and I hope it's an accurate understanding and I think all members of the House would hope it's an accurate understanding, that because of the rather unprecedented ruling that the Speaker made in saying that the amendments would not have to be fully read, that the same procedures would apply to Hansard, so that in a recording of Hansard it would be the original amendment and then just the names that are being recorded in Hansard.

It's my understanding that's the way Hansard will proceed and I just wanted to confirm that that was the case. If it is the case, I would then proceed to a second related point of order.

The First Deputy Chair: Okay.

Mrs McLeod: There are no tricks in this, Madam Chair, just in case government members are wondering.

The First Deputy Chair: I think it's fair for people to raise points of order about procedure in this place, especially after a ruling that changes the way we're doing things. I'd like to know, myself, frankly.

To the member for Fort William: The table officer is going to check. He is not sure, but his belief at this time is that whatever is in Hansard is what is read out. Perhaps you want to keep your second point of order, if it's related to this, until we know. That's what I'd prefer to do.

Mrs McLeod: In the interest of actually proceeding with it, if I may, Madam Chair, I would just perhaps indicate that my second point of order was to say that if my understanding of that is correct, whether or not it would be in order to seek a unanimous consent of the committee of the whole in order to have that decision, as it applies to the recording in Hansard, retroactive to the point at which Hansard is now, which would save Hansard staff considerable extra hours of transcribing.

I pose it simply because I think it would be helpful, given the nature of the Speaker's ruling. I don't think Hansard is currently at the point at which that ruling was made. If it's not in order I will not proceed with it, but if it can be checked --

The First Deputy Chair: We will check on that.

Mr Pouliot: Madam Speaker, on the same point: Given the crucial and vital importance of the matter that has just been raised by my distinguished colleague, I, too, and my colleagues, would wish to know. Maybe a recess of half an hour would be in order, Madam. An important point has been raised.

The First Deputy Chair: Member for Lake Nipigon, I'm not going to call a recess but I'm going to ask that we get that information as quickly as possible so that we can proceed if indeed somebody wants to move unanimous consent.

Mr Sergio: On a point of order, Madam Chair: I was not in the House when the Speaker rendered the decision yesterday. Did he say that members would be provided with a copy of the amendment or with copies of all the amendments?

The First Deputy Chair: I was not in the House either at that time, so if you will give me a moment here.

Mr Kwinter: On a point of order, Madam Chair: Just for clarification, every member was provided with a copy of the amendment. So they should have it at their desk, and all that's been happening is that the street names are being read out.

The First Deputy Chair: But the member for Yorkview asked if there was a ruling yesterday that all members be provided with a copy or copies of all the amendments.

Mr Sergio: I need to know what the ruling was.

The First Deputy Chair: What the ruling was yesterday is that each member of the House would be provided with a copy of the substantive motion, amendment, with a blank where the street is, and the Chair will read out the street name so you can follow along on your provided amendment. Okay?

Mr Sergio: Any possibility that we can have the decision of the Speaker in writing so I know exactly what the Speaker said yesterday?

The First Deputy Chair: I don't think that the Speaker has provided or is providing all of his decisions in writing, but give me a moment here and I'll get back to you.

The Speaker doesn't normally provide his decision in writing unless it is an appeal to a decision by a Chair. So there is no copy of his decision in writing. It will likely appear when the voting procedure -- during votes and proceedings.

Mr Sergio: Would that decision be available from Hansard?

The First Deputy Chair: Anything that's said in this House is in Hansard. I understand that Hansard is a bit behind, for obvious reasons, but of course if it was said in this House, it will be availalbe.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Madam Chair: I believe the next amendment is a duplicate of the one we've just done. Withdraw.

The First Deputy Chair: I have a ruling on the point of order raised by the member for Fort William on Hansard.

On the first point, I should say that the Hansard reflects verbatim what I said in the House earlier. From the outset of this process, what has been spoken by Chairs is what will appear in Hansard. Before the Speaker's ruling yesterday, the full texts of the motions were read and will appear in each case in Hansard. Since the Speaker's ruling, the street names have been read, and that is what will appear in Hansard. Again, the transcript is verbatim.

A full Hansard service is provided for in standing order 132(a). It is beyond the scope of this committee to suspend this, to suspend the applicability of the standing orders, even with unanimous consent. Only the House can do that.

Thank you for your point of order.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair: I believe there was a comment just made by the member for Ottawa-Rideau which I will take was offered in jest and not seriously, but I think warrants being withdrawn.

The Chair: Let me explain the situation I'm in. You made so much noise that I did not hear what he said. I will ask the member for Ottawa-Rideau to stand up, and if you have made a mistake and if you've said something which is out of order or something which is not accepted in this House, I would ask you to withdraw it. I know that you are an honourable member and you will do so.

Mr Garry J. Guzzo (Ottawa-Rideau): Mr Chair --

The Chair: You will do so -- no, no -- without any explanation. Yes or no. Do you withdraw your comment?

Mr Guzzo: No, I do not.

The Chair: You don't withdraw it? Then I'll have to ask -- therefore, there's nothing I can do.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Chair: I did not repeat the point that was made because I was trying to encourage us to deal with it quickly, to get it moved off so it wouldn't become an issue, but since the member has refused what I thought was a straightforward offer, I would just ask again -- I'm sure the comment was made in jest and not seriously -- that he reconsider and withdraw the comment he made.

Interjections.

The Chair: Order. Members for Ottawa-Rideau and Dovercourt, please take your seats. In my opinion, all the members are honourable members. I asked the member for Ottawa-Rideau if he had said something which was out of order, something which was insulting, something which was not acceptable in this House, and he said no. I accept his word.

Mr Pouliot: Point of order, Chair: Don't let him off the hook.

The Chair: Take your seat. I'm listening to this gentleman.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Chair: I appreciate the position you're in as Chair of this committee in not having heard the comment, but I would ask you if you would, as a courtesy to the House and a courtesy to the committee, ask the member for Ottawa-Rideau to withdraw the comment he made. I would ask you as a courtesy, sir, if you would do that.

The Chair: I will ask the member for Ottawa-Rideau once more. Did you say anything which was unparliamentary? If you did, I ask you to withdraw it.

Mr Guzzo: I did not, sir. In deference to your position, I will withdraw it, although it was not unparliamentary.

Mr Kormos: Chair, on a point of order: I'm not being critical, but I'm here this afternoon, and I hear --

The Chair: Speak a bit louder.

Mr Kormos: Sorry, Chair. I hear the Chair raising these amendments in accordance with the direction of the Speaker. Without being critical, sir, I do note that the Chair calls for "All those in favour say `aye,'" and indeed the Chair immediately, before giving members an opportunity to say "aye," moves into "All those opposed say `nay.'" The Speaker was quite clear that this was an abbreviated form of reading amendments and I understand that and I respect the Speaker's ruling. However, Chair, please, that does not mean that we're dispensing with the seriousness of a vote on each and every one of these. With all due respect, sir, I ask that you follow the traditional role of the Chair in awaiting the ayes and then calling for nays.

Mr Pouliot: On the same point of order, Chair: What my colleague has said is of crucial importance. You have noticed the NDP members that are sponsoring the amendments like soldiers at their posts. We have a meticulous agenda to adhere to, and it is most important, in fact vital, that what my colleague has said be ruled on favourably.

The Chair: Thank you. I accept it.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4) -- on a point of order related to the amendment?

Mr John R. Baird (Nepean): It's related to the amendment and in particular the comments of the members opposite. We've wasted $1.1 million and just because they don't --

The Chair: No, no. You're totally out of order. The member for Nepean, you're totally out of order. You're wasting my time and you're wasting the time of everyone by making statements that way.

Mr Silipo: Chair, on a point of order: Withdraw the following two amendments both of which have the word Minerva inserted, because they are duplicates of the one that will follow after that.

Mr Agostino: The Deputy Speaker just waltzed to the lounge here and made some comment. I want to ask you, did you hear me say, "Go back and do your homework?"

The Chair: No, I didn't hear -- honestly. Would you please take your seat, the member for Hamilton East.

Mr Agostino: On a point of order, Mr Chair: The Deputy Speaker just waltzed through --

The Chair: Which Deputy Speaker?

Mr Agostino: Mr Johnson, and said, "Don't make that comment to me." I said, "What comment?" And he said, "The comment you just made to the Speaker, `Go back and do your homework.'" I certainly never made a comment as such. All I asked was for the spelling of the word and I'm not sure where the Deputy Speaker was hearing that from. I just want to clarify for you, Mr Chair, that certainly that comment was not made.

Interjections.

The Chair: Order. Take your seat, please.

Mr Kormos: A great deal of stress, fatigue -- auditory hallucinations are often symptomatic of the stress and fatigue that your colleague Speaker is undoubtedly experiencing. I think that explains and rationalizes his comment.

The Chair: That is totally unfair and I don't accept that. I find this remark totally derogatory and I would ask you to withdraw it.

Interjection: Apologize.

The Chair: I would ask you to withdraw it.

Mr Kormos: I'm just concerned about his health.

The Chair: It's totally not -- no, no; withdraw it --totally uncalled for. You know, everybody is tired. And we don't talk about people that way.

1310

Mr Silipo: A point of order, Mr Chair.

The Chair: A point of order. Take your seat. The member for Welland-Thorold, take your seat. A point of order.

Mr Silipo: Yes, Chair, I would withdraw the following amendment which I know should refer to Montreal Street, but because it doesn't have the street designation, left on its own it might read just as "Montreal," and that would be inappropriate so I would like to withdraw that.

The Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): It could be pronounced either Montressor or Mont-ressor. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour will please say "aye." All those opposed will please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it and the motion is lost.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Montrose.

Mr Wildman: On a point of order, Mr Chair: Could you ascertain as to whether or not there is a quorum.

The Chair: Please check if there is a quorum.

Clerk at the Table: A quorum is present, Chair.

The Chair: NDP motion, subsection --

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I believe that there is a duplicate. There's Montrose, which is the one that's coming up, so I would like to withdraw that because the one that follows has Montrose Avenue.

The Chair: Withdrawn.

An NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Montrose Avenue. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it and the vote is deferred.

Mr Kormos: On a point of order, Mr Chair: Once again, and I understand the difficulty, but the Chair said: "All those in favour say `aye.' All those opposed say `nay,'" without giving people an opportunity to respond to the call for "ayes." With respect, sir.

The Chair: I heard people responding but if it is your wish, I will abide to that. I will read it again.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Montye Avenue. All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it and the vote is deferred.

The Second Deputy Chair: This is an NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Moon Valley Drive. Shall the motion carry?

Mr Agostino: Speaker, on a point of order: Can you spell that, please?

The Second Deputy Chair: Have you got a copy of these in front of you?

Mr Agostino: No, I don't, Mr Speaker.

The Second Deputy Chair: Would you make available to yourself your caucus copy so that you could use that. No, I will not spell it.

Mr Agostino: It's a point of order.

The Second Deputy Chair: That is not a point of order.

Mr Agostino: On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

The Second Deputy Chair: The chair recognizes the member for Hamilton East on a point of order.

Mr Agostino: Mr Speaker, I would ask for the spelling. The Speaker yesterday, if I remember correctly, in his ruling ruled that if the request was made for the spelling of a word then the chair would proceed to spell that word upon the request of a member, and I have made that request.

The Second Deputy Chair: The Speaker said that if there is a request to have one spelled, it should be done to accommodate something that is difficult, I assume, and so on. My ruling is going to be this: I will spell ones that I think should be difficult, and on request, I will spell others. But if I think that we aren't all here to expedite things -- in order words, if I am asked to spell every one or every other one, and people are not using the information that the Legislature has provided for them, then I may have to -- quite frankly, it might irritate me or something and I wouldn't want my personal things to come into this chair. So yes, I will spell this one.

Mr Agostino: A point of order, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: Pardon me, would you please take your seat. So yes, I will spell this because you have asked for it.

Mr Wildman: On a point of privilege, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: Could it please wait until I finish this.

Mr Wildman: Oh sure.

The Second Deputy Chair: M-o-o-n v-a-l-l-e-y.

Mr Wildman: On a point of privilege, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: The Chair recognizes the member for Algoma on a point of privilege.

Mr Wildman: As I understand it, Chair, all members were given the copy of the written motion with the spaces under sub (4) and then the first item --

The Second Deputy Chair: What's the privilege?

Mr Wildman: -- where the names of the streets are included --

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, what's the privilege?

Mr Wildman: -- where the names of the streets are included is blank and so the privilege is this: If a person does not hear correctly or does not understand or doesn't know what the spelling might be, that person doesn't know exactly what she or he is voting on, and to suggest that the member should get the list I don't think is helpful because it isn't available to all members.

Mr Hampton: On a point of privilege, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: I have a point in front of me. Would you please take your seat.

The privilege is this: I don't want to even approach the point where I would impede anybody's privilege. I assume we are all here to expedite things, to get on with the thing, without any delays that would be interrupted as being frivolous or vexatious or make a mockery of this. I'm sure that isn't the intention. I assume we are all honourable and that is why it wouldn't be interrupted that way.

The Speaker has ruled that if I'm requested I will spell them. I can tell you that if it's my pronunciation or my enunciation or something then I'll try to improve that, but I don't think that the interpretation I have of the Speaker's ruling is that I have to spell every one. I don't think it would even be interrupted that I should have to spell every other one. It would seem to me that --

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order, order -- if there are ones that require some interpretation. Does that finish that point of privilege?

Mr Wildman: I understand.

Mr Hampton: On a point of privilege, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: The chair recognizes the member for Rainy River on a point of privilege.

Mr Hampton: Chair, I want to read for you from Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, 6th edition.

The Second Deputy Chair: Stop. Just a moment. I'm here to hear a point of privilege and I'm not here to have that read into the --

Mr Hampton: This is my point of privilege.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I'm sorry, your privilege is not to get up and read out of that book. Your privilege is to make me aware of something that is being deprived of you, and if you tell me what that is and --

Mr Hampton: Yes and --

The Deputy Speaker: Pardon me, don't hurry me. If, to help you with that point you need to refer to something, then that I think is quite permissible.

Mr Hampton: It's a brief paragraph which is the foundation of my point of privilege, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: What is your point?

Mr Hampton: My point is this, Chair: You continue to emphasize that time is your major consideration. I want to point out to you, Chair: "The principles of Canadian parliamentary law are: To protect a minority and restrain the improvidence or tyranny of a majority." That is a principle, sir. It's not a matter of convenience. It's a principle. To protect --

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I think you have touched a sore button, maybe not on what you said but, with due respect, on the way you said it. I'm neither hard of hearing nor am I --

1320

Mr Hampton: I'm giving an argument, sir.

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes, okay.

Mr Hampton: I'm not entering into polite discussion. I'm giving an argument, as is my right in this Legislature, sir.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. This member is addressing this chair on a point of privilege and it is my duty, according to your rules, that I hear it out and that I give him every opportunity to make his point, to back it up, and then I have to make a ruling on it. So if you don't mind, I want your attention.

I would like to ask you if you could -- I guess it's something called demeanour; if you could temper that just a little bit then we wouldn't get into all these noisy responses.

Mr Hampton: Let me begin again then, Chair: "To protect a minority and restrain the improvidence or tyranny of a majority;..." That is a principle upon which we operate. Second, " -- to secure the transaction of public business in an orderly manner;..." I would assume that being able to hear and discern what is said is taken in to the term "orderly manner," "...to enable every member to express opinions," and I agree with you, "within [time] limits necessary to preserve decorum," is important, "and prevent any unnecessary waste of time."

I agree with you, that is one of the principles, but I ask you to look at the other principles, "...to give abundant opportunity for the consideration of every measure, and to prevent any legislative action being taken upon sudden impulse."

As I read these principles, sir, one of them refers to a timely manner; five of them refer to "protect a minority," "restrain the improvidence or tyranny of a majority," "secure the transaction of public business in an orderly manner; to enable every member to express opinions" -- right? -- "to give abundant opportunity for the consideration of every measure" --

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, pardon me.

Mr Hampton: -- "to prevent any legislative action being taken upon sudden impulse."

The Second Deputy Chair: Pardon me, I wanted to ask a question. You used the word "right" in a questionable -- is that in that quote?

Mr Hampton: No, that was simply an utterance, a confirmation. My point is simply this, Chair: You seem to be placing one principle far above all of the other principles. You seem not to be worried about the protection of the minority. You seem not to be worried about the improvidence or tyranny of a majority. You seem not be worried about providing opportunity for consideration. You seem not be worried about preventing any legislative action being taken upon sudden impulse.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order, order.

Mr Hampton: I simply ask you, Chair: Observe all of the principles of parliamentary law.

The Second Deputy Chair: I have a question for you before I make my ruling. Does it say anything in that book about the protection of the majority or the rights of the majority?

Mr Hampton: In fact, Chair, no it doesn't.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I need that information in order to make my decision. If we can have order and decorum, I would like to consult and then I will give you my ruling.

Order. I'm addressing the Leader of the Opposition, the member for Rainy River, I'm sorry, the leader of the third party -- my apologies -- on his point of privilege. The point of privilege was time, I guess, and your interpretation of me trying to, I don't know if the term I might use would be to make time or to save time, or something, and going too fast, or something like that.

Mr Wildman: Expedite.

The Chair: I don't think I need any help right now, but if I do, I'll ask for it, and I consult with the table here when I need help.

I'd like to tell the member for Rainy River, if he's listening to me, that I've been in this chair 15 minutes now. I have heard two points of order. I've heard two points of privilege and I have not yet finished one item of business. I have never, ever said that it was my responsibility to save time or to make time. It's my job only to rule on your rules in this House and to expedite the business that's before us. But as a courtesy to you --

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order.

As a courtesy to you --

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, I'm addressing you. As a courtesy to the member of the third party, I will spell every street that is here. Is that --

Mr Wildman: That's not necessary.

Mr Curling: Upon request.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, no. I think it will expedite things in a more businesslike and parliamentary way if I would just do that because there is information that the members have not availed themselves of that would help them with it. I guess, if I have to, I'll bend over backwards in my job to try to help them.

M-o-o-n v-a-l-l-e-y. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

I'm sorry. I recognize the member for Dovercourt.

Mr Silipo: On that last one, Chair, I believe you did not call for the vote being deferred and there were five members standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm trying to do this the very best I can.

Mr Silipo: I appreciate that, sir.

The Second Deputy Chair: I am making mistakes and when I do, I want to correct them. That was Moore Avenue. The vote is deferred.

I'm sorry, on these standing votes there are a lot of points of order and a lot of points of privilege coming up, so if you're standing and talking, then I think you want my attention, so I would ask you to desist.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4) --

Mr Curling: On a point of order, Mr Chairman: I just didn't understand what you said. I stood up -- could you explain what you said a minute ago?

The Second Deputy Chair: I wasn't talking to you.

Interjection.

Mr Curling: I can't hear with the interruption over --

The Second Deputy Chair: You'd have a heck of a lot better job hearing me if you weren't talking at the same time.

Mr Curling: And if they're not talking too.

The Second Deputy Chair: I said that when somebody is standing in this House in their place and they're speaking when I look up, I assume they want my attention for a point of order. That's the way you got my attention. So that if you're standing on a vote to call a division and you're standing there talking, then I think I should stop everything in this House and give you the attention that I think you're asking for.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair: You didn't rule on the vote being deferred.

Mr Sergio: There are five standing up.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry. I appreciate the help from the member for Yorkview. There was somebody standing directly in front of --

Mr Sergio: Mr Agostino.

The Second Deputy Chair: The member who I was giving credit for being in his own place properly, but there was somebody in the way, and I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I apologize. We'll get over it, but thanks for your help. The motion is deferred.

Mr Sergio: Correct. Thank you, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm here to do the absolute best I can, and thanks for your help.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Mount Royal Avenue, m-o-u-n-t r-o-y-a-l. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Mr Silipo: Mr Chair, on a point of order: The last one you dealt with was Mountview, I believe. Right?

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes.

Mr Silipo: I have in my package an amendment for a street, Mountjoy Avenue, which I believe precedes it. Is that not in your package?

The Second Deputy Chair: Apparently we have already done that one.

Mr Silipo: You've done it?

The Second Deputy Chair: According to the table.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: I want to explain things. I do my job, you people do your job, and I want to compliment the member for Dovercourt that you are doing your job very well, and I think the rest of the members deserve that too. I think the table people are doing -- my help has a motion with "Mountjoy" on it that says "D" on it, and I don't know whether that's defeated or deferred, but that's her coding on it -- oh, deferred.

Mr Silipo: The last I had heard was Mountbatten. I didn't hear Mountjoy.

The Second Deputy Chair: I had Mountview too since then.

Mr Silipo: That's what I'm saying. You went from Mountbatten to Mountview, and Mountjoy is in between.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm not here to argue with you. If you want me to do it again, I'll do it again.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry. I'm being a little flippant. This is a point of order. I'm making that ruling. If you would like to challenge --

Mr Silipo: No, no. I'm not interesting in challenging you. I just want to be clear. So what you're saying is that Mountjoy has in fact been deferred?

The Second Deputy Chair: Yes.

Mr Silipo: Even though we didn't deal with it. That's fine.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm saying we dealt with it, to the best of my ability.

The member for Yorkview on a point of order.

Mr Sergio: Not a point of order, just a comment.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, no, I'm sorry. We're not here to make comments.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Moutray Street, m-o-u-t-r-a-y. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Mowat, m-o-w-a-t --

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair --

The Second Deputy Chair: Withdraw?

Mr Silipo: Yes, withdraw that one please.

The Second Deputy Chair: It's done.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Mowat Avenue. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay."

I spelled Mowat the time before, so I didn't here. Is there somebody who wants me to spell it again?

Interjection: No.

The Second Deputy Chair: In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is defeated.

NDP motion, subsection --

Mr Silipo: Mr Chair, on a point of order: I'd like to withdraw the following amendment dealing with Moxlay.

1350

The Second Deputy Chair: It is done.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Moynes Avenue, m-o-y-n-e-s --

Mr Silipo: Mr Chair, on a point of order: On Moyles Court, I didn't hear you say that the vote was deferred or defeated.

The Second Deputy Chair: I may not have, but the vote was -- Moyles, was that the last one? Deferred.

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I have two people standing, two people talking, and I don't know who I'm supposed to recognize. Are you standing on a point of order or a point of privilege?

Mr Sergio: I'm always standing up.

The Second Deputy Chair: Not wanting to give information or break the rules or anything. Fine. You may remain standing. I recognize the member for Rainy River -- on a point of privilege?

Mr Hampton: On a point of order: Chair, it's really important that you say whether or not the amendment is deferred or defeated, because if we don't hear it, and on a couple of occasions now we haven't heard it, we've got no choice but to rise on a point of order and ask, so it's really important that in every case you say whether the amendment has been deferred or defeated. That's what we ask of you.

The Second Deputy Chair: M-o-y-n-e-s --

Mrs Helen Johns (Huron): On a point of order: It's my understanding that five people have to be standing on the other side for the amendment to be deferred. In the last section, and I'm sure the honourable member will say that, the member for Scarborough North was not standing, and so the amendment should have been defeated.

Mr Curling: On a point of order --

The Second Deputy Chair: I'd like to address the point from the member for Huron. Yes, that is a point of order. I take a scan. I'm just trying to expedite this thing in the proper way, so I'm using my eyes to see, my ears to hear, and then I change and I look and I take a scan, and if five people are standing, I try to remember to say "deferred," and if they aren't, I try to remember to say "defeated." I'm doing the very best I can, but thanks very much for your help.

Hon Charles Harnick (Attorney General, minister responsible for native affairs): Chair, on a point of order: I notice that there is a pattern developing here where all of the NDP amendments are either being deferred or defeated, and I wonder if I could seek unanimous consent of all members to, in one motion, deal with all of the streets that are remaining so that we can move on to the next section of this bill, in which case none of the NDP streets that they feel so strongly about will be defeated because of their difficulty of standing. Then we could move this on. So it would be my request that we have unanimous consent in one motion to deal with all of the remaining streets that pertain to section 24(4) and then it will be deferred and they won't have to worry about any of their amendments being defeated.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. It is a point of order. I'll ask the question. Do we have unanimous consent? I'm sorry, there is no unanimous consent.

I'm sorry. I have three people in this chamber standing, talking, and I want to give them the attention that they want. Unless I'm mistaken, the member for Scarborough North was up before you, but I'm addressing myself to different places and so on. Am I correct in that?

Mr Curling: I go by your ruling. If you want me to sit down, I'll sit. If you want me to go ahead --

The Second Deputy Chair: No, no. That isn't my job to tell you whether to -- if you're standing on a point of order, then I want to know what the point of order is.

Mr Curling: The point of order is I didn't hear your decision whether it was deferred or it was defeated.

The Second Deputy Chair: Which one?

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, which motion are you asking about?

Mr Curling: The one that is questioning the fact whether I was standing or not.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm not going to rule on that. I don't know --

Mr Curling: But it was deferred.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry. I don't know if you were standing or not.

Mr Bill Murdoch (Grey-Owen Sound): What was the name of the street?

The Second Deputy Chair: No, no, no. Order. The member for Grey-Owen Sound, please come to order.

Mr Murdoch: What was the name of the street?

The Second Deputy Chair: No, no, no. Come to order. I want to explain this because I want this job to get done in the expedient manner that you want it done.

I'm addressing the member for Scarborough North. I want to tell you the process, because maybe you haven't been here before. I've only been at this job for 32 hours. So I appreciate the help. After the "nays" have been taken, and this is a point of order, then the rules say that five members must be standing in their places to request a division.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I don't want to be interrupted. I take a scan and if five members are standing in their places, then I say -- I try to remember to say "deferred." I've missed two in the last hour, but they've been corrected, I hope. But I can't tell you who was standing. Heaven's sakes. I'd have to name the members, and you know what that would do. That would cause another problem. So no, if five members are standing, it's deferred. If four or less are standing, it's defeated.

Mr Curling: Right.

The Second Deputy Chair: When there are two people standing I have to try to say who was up first and, yes, the Chair recognizes the member for Dovercourt on a point of order.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair: I just wanted to be clear that the member for Willowdale, when he made his request, which was obviously appropriate and within the rules if he wants to make that, but he referred to the streets as NDP streets, and I'm sure that he would want to correct the record because these of course are not NDP streets. These are streets in the urban area that we are dealing with.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, it's an NDP motion and then the streets come down within it, but would you like to withdraw or was that just an inadvertent mistake or is it a mistake?

Hon Mr Harnick: No, Chair. There was nothing inadvertent about that. They are NDP amendments, so they are streets that are in the NDP amendments.

Mr Silipo: That clarifies it.

Hon Mr Harnick: Certainly, I think that what I've indicated to the opposition is because a number -- right now there are only three members in the Legislature -- they can't stand so their amendments are being defeated, and what I'm offering them on the basis of unanimous consent is the opportunity to have all of their amendments pursuant to 24(4) deferred and not defeated, and we're prepared to seek unanimous consent to see if they want to do that, and I renew that.

The Second Deputy Chair: Thank you for that. The member for Dovercourt, the member for Mississauga South was up before you. So the Chair is recognizing the member for Mississauga South.

Mrs Margaret Marland (Mississauga South): The process in this House for voting when you ask for the "ayes" and the "nays" has always been very straightforward and quite traditional, and when you decide that the nays have it, it doesn't matter in what motion, it doesn't matter the nays on one side of the House or the other, the people who do not agree then must stand in their place. And that process, that procedure is well recognized and has been used probably for in excess of 100 years in our parliaments in Upper Canada.

We now have a system where all members on the opposition benches are standing all the time, and I simply ask you, how we have now slid into a process where you don't know if they're standing because they want to stretch or because they can't sit or for some other reason. So unless they make the action of standing to record opposition and five standing in their places, we're slipping into a very sloppy procedure, and I suggest to you that in order for these votes to be registered properly, it is necessary for members to stand in their place. If they're standing all the time, one of the complications for you is that you don't know whether they're registering their vote or not.

Frankly, I think it's unacceptable for the lame and the maim and so forth to say, "Well, I want special dispensation because I have a problem. Send in someone else from the caucus if that is the case.

The Second Deputy Chair: The Chair wants to address the point of order to the member from Mississauga. I think that is a point of order.

The member for Mississauga South has a point of order, and I'm going to clarify it for all -- I was going to say forever, but no. It comes under 28(a). "When a voice vote has been taken on any question, a division may be required by five members standing in their places."

I have interpreted that -- they don't have to sit down in between, and so I guess that is my ruling, but you have the ability to appeal to the Speaker if you question my ruling.

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: That is my ruling. So, yes, they may stand all the time, as long as they're in place in a parliamentary way. I'm ruling that that is decorum.

Please take your seats for a minute. Please take your seats. I wanted to get away from this lecturing because I don't feel right that I did it, but I feel that I'm being taken advantage of. Right now, I've been in this Chair for about an hour. I have taken three points of privilege. I've taken at least 10 points of order from one party, six from the other two parties. I think I have two more points of order to deal with, and let me tell you that I have only processed 61 of these amendments.

Let me be very clear that I could do that many when I had to read every word in this 254-word motion. I did 103 in a shift, I did over 50 an hour. I don't want to trivialize this. I don't want to get into this thing about making a mockery of this place or trivializing it. But I want to be very clear that it is my job to let this House proceed at a rate that will expedite its business. If there are members that don't want me to do that, then I wish that they would have a talk with themselves and decide, because if I have to, if I feel that any members are not wanting to expedite the work of this House, then I will be naming them and I will be doing that.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I appreciate your warning, I guess, is what I would take it as to us.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, no, I wouldn't warn anybody.

Mr Silipo: Okay, your comments then, but I think you obviously have to deal with each point of order as it is raised and decide whether it's appropriate or not and then determine your actions as a consequence.

I wanted to rise on a point of order to ask that you remind members that it's inappropriate and contrary to the rules to point to the presence or indeed the absence of members, and the member for Willowdale earlier on in a point referred to the absence of members on the opposition bench, and I think that's out of order, and I would ask you to apply the rules in cases like that.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm sorry, it's not my habit to debate rules of order. I want to be very clear to the member for Dovercourt, because quite frankly I want to point out in a complimentary way the demeanour with which you have conducted yourself over the last 32 hours that I've been in this chair.

Let me be very clear, the rules say, and it is a point of order, that a member cannot make reference to the absence of members. I know of nothing that says that they can't make a reference to the presence of a member. That is my ruling. If you want to appeal?

Mr Silipo: No.

The Second Deputy Chair: Okay, are we ready to proceed?

Mr Agostino: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I'll respond because I think there was a comment made by the member --

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I'm sorry. No. We're not here to debate any responses. You're rising on a point of order.

Mr Agostino: Point of order.

The Second Deputy Chair: Please take your seat for a minute. I want to explain what a point of order is. A point of order is that I'm doing something wrong, there's something wrong going on in the House, but it's not to debate. We're in committee of the whole. We are supposed to be expediting the reading of these --

Mr Agostino: On a point of privilege --

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. We're supposed to be here to expedite the reading of these amendments into the records. That is what I've been told. If I'm doing something wrong, then tell me, but don't ask me to let you discuss something else that's been said or hasn't been said or anything else like that.

Mr Agostino: I had a point of privilege.

The Second Deputy Chair: Sit down, please. Please take your seat.

Mr Agostino: Let me make my point of privilege.

The Second Deputy Chair: Please take your seat. You were on a point of order. I want to make a ruling on that. It was not a point of order.

Mr Agostino: Here's the point: A few minutes ago -- and I think a member's privilege has been breached -- the member for Mississauga South made reference to members who have been given special circumstances to vote in different ways in this House. This House, by unanimous consent, allowed one member because of an injury to be able to vote in a way different than simply standing up, and I think the questioning of that decision by the member and the insensitivity is totally irresponsible based on a decision that was made by this House as a result of the fact that a member was injured and could not stand up. I think the member for Mississauga South should realize that and show a little bit of common sense rather than simply sit there and take shot at members across the floor who sitting there with a knee injury.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. That is not a point of privilege.

Mr Sergio: On a point of order, Mr Chair: You have ruled on the point of order by the member for Willowdale as being a good point of order when he suggested that we should vote on all the amendments since he has named the NDP as willing to let every amendment be defeated. I'd like to recall the ruling of the Speaker yesterday that every amendment must be read by name as it's being considered today.

Therefore, I consider that if a member does not wish to stand in his place and wishes to have the amendment be defeated, so be it. It is your responsibility, as you have been doing, you have been calling for the votes on both sides of the House and if one amendment loses, that's fine. If it's deferred, that's fine as well.

As you have ruled and I accept your ruling, each member should be standing in their place to be eligible to vote, and we have accepted that, but to say that we are going to vote on all the amendments because they are NDP streets or because they are all the same, I think this has already been decided and should not be brought again and continue to waste the time of the House.

The Second Deputy Chair: That is not a point of order, but I want to give an explanation of why it isn't. The member for Willowdale was asking for unanimous consent.

Mr Sergio: We had already decided that.

The Second Deputy Chair: Pardon me, but you can ask for unanimous consent for nearly everything. I was not ruling on whether it was good or not. That's not my point. I'm just ruling on points of order, points of privilege, some interjections and trying to expedite the business of this committee.

If it would expedite things and I could get on with it without points of order and points of privilege and all these interruptions, I would read every one these. I think I could get through them faster. I'm sorry, I apologize. That's a personal comment and I shouldn't get into that. Are we ready to proceed?

Mr Hampton: And?

The Second Deputy Chair: The vote -- I'm sorry. The member for Rainy River on a point of order.

Mr Hampton: No, I was waiting.

Mr Curling: Deferred or defeated.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, that isn't -- in this House we're allowing you to stand, but if you're standing and talking then I think that you want to be on a point of order or a point of privilege. I don't want to make a mistake. I've already made more than anybody should, but I'm doing the absolutely best that I can and I can't have those kind of interruptions.

Mr Hampton: Very good.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair --

The Second Deputy Chair: Now, I like that. You're standing and you're talking and I recognize the member for Dovercourt.

Mr Silipo: I said "point of order" even. I thought in fact that's what the member for Rainy River was going to raise as a point of order, that on that last one you did not say, "The vote is deferred," and there were five members standing.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'm not there yet.

Mr Silipo: You're not there yet? Oh, wonderful. Okay.

The Second Deputy Chair: But listen, I'm glad I'm not the only one that slips up once in a while. There were five up so it is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Murdock Avenue --

Mr Murdoch: On a point of order, Chair: Could you spell that, please.

The Second Deputy Chair: The Chair recognizes the member for Grey-Owen Sound on a point of order.

Mr Murdoch: I'd like it spelled.

The Second Deputy Chair: M-u-r-d-o-c-k.

Mr Murdoch: I know in this book of streets there is a Murdoch Drive, which is spelled with an h like the proper spelling, and I wonder if there's a conspiracy here with the opposition because they used to spell their Murdock -- and there was a Murdock on their caucus and she spelled her name with a k. Maybe the next one is h. Is the next street Murdoch Drive?

1420

The Second Deputy Chair: It is not a point of order.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Chair: After we deal with this amendment, I would be happy to move unanimous consent to have Murdoch Drive, that the member for Grey-Owen Sound referred to, added as a further amendment. Of course we would require unanimous consent at this point.

Interjections: No.

The Second Deputy Chair: Member for Grey-Owen Sound, that is not a point of order. Are we ready to get on with things? I've had a really nice rest during all this.

Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Murmouth Road --

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I can't have members standing and talking. I don't want to have to go down and sit down and up and down. I don't want to go over and over this, but if you're standing and talking -- I've already dealt with about 30 points of order, so I'm not about to slow down the business of this House to address this any more -- m-u-r-m-o-u-t-h. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Murray Avenue, m-u-r-r-a-y. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour, say "aye." All those opposed, say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Muskoka Avenue, m-u-s-k-o-k-a.

Mrs Marland: No.

Mr Silipo: No, what? The Chair hasn't even asked the question.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, but the end of it says, "o-k-a"; okay, eh? Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred. I just did that because I was told one time that I didn't have a sense of humour.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Mutual Street, m-u-t-u-a-l. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I'd like to withdraw this, as it doesn't have a street designation on it.

The Second Deputy Chair: It's done.

Mr Joseph Cordiano (Lawrence): I'm in my seat, sir.

1430

The Second Deputy Chair: Okay. You weren't here before; I'll explain it once more. If you're standing and you're talking, I have a whole lot of things to do. I'm trying to follow the absolute rules of it and the rules that you have, but if you're standing and talking, I think you want me. So I don't know if it's a point of order, a point of privilege, asking to seek unanimous consent or any other reason that you might want my attention. I don't mind a person just standing there to reflect that, but if you're standing and talking, then I think you want my attention and you are distracting me. Is that a problem?

Mr Cordiano: No, that's understood, Mr Chair. If we do want your attention, you'll know it.

The Second Deputy Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Nanton Avenue, n-a-n-t-o-n. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Mr Chair: I believe we don't have quorum.

The Second Deputy Chair: Very important to have that in before this vote is recorded. Did you ask me to find out, or are you just telling me that you don't think there is?

Mr Silipo: I believe quorum is not present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: I will check and make sure, and if it isn't, I'll make sure that it is before I proceed. Would you check and see if there's a quorum here, please.

Clerk Assistant: A quorum is not present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair ordered the bells rung.

Clerk Assistant: A quorum is now present, Chair.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: The vote is deferred. I missed that two times this morning -- this afternoon. You do lose track here. So I wanted to get that in. I knew where I'd stopped and so on.

The Chair recognizes the member for Dovercourt on a point of order.

Mr Silipo: I would like to withdraw the following amendment, Nantucket Boulevard, I think, because it's a duplicate. I'm not sure if we've just done one or if you were about to get into the first of the two.

The Second Deputy Chair: Some people consider that a short form. Do you want to do the "Bl" or the "Blvd"?

Mr Silipo: I think we should keep the "Blvd" because that's closer to "Boulevard," or "bulved," as you've decreed it on other occasions.

The Second Deputy Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Nantucket Blvd, n-a-n-t-u-c-k-e-t. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

The Second Deputy Chair: I'll check.

1500

Mr John R. Baird (Nepean): Point of order --

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I'm sorry. I want to explain carefully. I want to be clear about this. I do not take debate on points of order.

Mr Baird: It is the same point.

The Second Deputy Chair: It's not my habit to do that. In this case I am tempted to because I am inquisitive. I recognize the member for Nepean on a point of order.

Mr Baird: On the same point of order as my colleague the member for Dovercourt, Chair: I know it's a serious point of order on his part. Can you count all the Liberal and NDP members who raced out just before he got up? They are all right behind the counter over there.

The Second Deputy Chair: No, I'm sorry. I just had confirmed why I should not have made an exception to my habit. Do we have a count?

Clerk Assistant: A quorum is not present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair ordered the bells rung.

Clerk Assistant: A quorum is now present, Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: We will proceed.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): --

Mr Baird: Mario was late.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. We can't have this talking back and forth. This is a tedious job. I'm doing the best I can, but I can't have these kinds of interruptions.

The member for Dovercourt, you'll want to withdraw this one, I believe: Noble.

Mr Silipo: Yes, thank you, Chair. I appreciate that. We were both distracted by someone. I'd be happy to withdraw this one that deals with Noble because it's a duplicate.

The Second Deputy Chair: NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Noble Street, n-o-b-l-e. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Mr Hampton: Important step.

The Second Deputy Chair: Oh, I'm sorry. In my opinion, the nays have it. There were five up, so this is deferred. Sorry to miss that.

Order. Please take your seats. The Chair recognizes the member for Hamilton East on a point of order.

Mr Agostino: Previous to an earlier point of privilege -- it's a point of privilege, not a point of order -- to the comment made by the member for Mississauga South, we've had two calls from members of the disabled community in reference to that comment seeking an apology. It was a highly offensive comment to people who are disabled.

The Second Deputy Chair: Will you take your seat. I want to make a ruling. I want to do the best I can to make sure it's right. My ruling on your point of order is this: We are in committee of the whole. My purpose here is to read these into the record. We are not in debate. What you are about to want to do is entering into debate, so that is not a point of order.

Mr Agostino: Mr Chair, could I ask you to rule on something?

The Second Deputy Chair: The Chair recognizes the member for Hamilton East on a --

Mr Agostino: On a point of order in regard to the functioning of this Legislature that you're now in charge of. Is it established principle and practice that all members, regardless of disability or ailment, are allowed to sit in this House and serve as a member of this --

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. Would you take your seat please. That is not a point of order.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Norbrook Crescent, n-o-r-b-r-o-o-k. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Interjections.

The Second Deputy Chair: Order. I can't have members standing and talking. I've gone through, I would guess, 30 or 40 points of order in less than the last two hours, and the way to get my attention is to stand in your place on a point of order and seek my attention. If you're going to be standing all the time, then I'm sorry, I can't have you talking. I'll bring you to order one more time.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Norby Crescent, n-o-r-b-y. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Interjection.

The Second Deputy Chair: Member for Yorkview, I made a ruling a long time ago and I repeated it a little while ago. I'll need your cooperation on it please.

Mr Sergio: I'm not speaking, Mr Chair.

The Second Deputy Chair: If I have the wrong member, I do apologize, but somebody was standing and talking and I'm distracted by it. I'm making mistakes because of it, and I can't have it.

Mr Baird: Point of order, Madam Chair: I would ask, given that motions need a mover and a seconder and given that there is only one NDP member and one Liberal member present, is that in order?

The First Deputy Chair: I want to remind the member for Nepean again that these motions are deemed to have been moved. Also, they don't need a seconder anyway, even if they needed to be moved. Thank you for that point of order.

Mr Cordiano: Madam Chair, I don't believe a quorum is present.

The First Deputy Chair: Is there a quorum?

Clerk at the Table: A quorum is not present, Chair.

The First Deputy Chair ordered the bells rung.

Clerk at the Table: A quorum is now present, Chair.

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Madam Chair: I believe the member for Nepean was out of order when he called to the attention of the House the absence of members. That is contrary to the rules and I would ask you to enforce that rule. We went through this with the previous Chair as well.

Mr Baird: Point of order, Chair: I would like to respond. The member for Dovercourt has been here for one more term than I have and I respect his judgement on this issue. I withdraw those comments. I will not mention the fact that there was only one Liberal member and one NDP member present. I apologize.

The First Deputy Chair: Oh, come on now. Order, please. As everybody here knows, it is the practice around here that we don't comment on members missing from the chamber, and I would appreciate it if people would bear that in mind.

Okay. Are we ready? I am if you are. Let's go.

NDP motion, subsection 24(4): Normandale Crescent. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour say "aye." All those opposed say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote is deferred.

Mr Agostino: Point of order, Chair: Can you continue the practice of the previous Chair? It made it easier for us so we didn't have to get up and ask on individual cases. Can you continue spelling the street names, if that's in order? Rather than us having to get up and ask, it's probably faster.

The First Deputy Chair: If people want me to spell each one, I will, but let me tell you what I've been doing on my previous shifts since this new ruling of just reading the street names. I have been reading the ones that I believe are very obvious, say Main Street or the next one coming up, Normandy Boulevard, and I have been spelling each and every one where I think there might be any question whatsoever. That's been working very well. In my view, spelling out Main Street or something like that is ridiculous because people can understand it. Let's try that for a while and see if it works for people.

1540

Mr Silipo: Point of order, Chair: I believe that quorum is not present.

The First Deputy Chair: Could you check for a quorum.

Clerk at the Table: Quorum is not present, Chair.

The First Deputy Chair ordered the bells to be rung.

Clerk at the Table: A quorum is now present, Chair.

Mr Baird: Point of order, Mr Chair: I'm referring to standing orders 11(a) and standing orders 19.

If I could draw your attention to standing orders 19 perhaps first, in the column beside section 19 it says, "No strangers on floor, etc." It points to the word "floor" when referring to 19. "Except as provided in standing order 103, no member of the House shall bring any stranger into any part of the House," etc. It uses the word "floor."

I use that terminology to draw that to your attention in relation to number 11(a), which reads as follows, "The presence of at least 20 members of the House, including the Speaker, is necessary to constitute a meeting of the House for the exercise of its powers."

My specific point of order is a genuine one. You may want to reflect on it. I agree with the decisions you raised earlier. I not only accept them but I agree with you on them.

The specific nature of my concern is that if members are in the House, in the confines of the four walls -- there are members who, two seconds before a quorum is raised -- for example, the member for Rainy River said, "Let's go for a smoke," and all of the Liberal and NDP members, save the member for Dovercourt, departed with him. I am specifically relating to that; given that they are in the House, just over there, they are still in the House, and by relation to the term "floor" in section 19 of the act and in relation to the term "House" in section 11(a), I think a reasonable case could be made that you are in the House if you are within the four walls of this room, of this place, and would submit that to you for your consideration.

The First Deputy Chair: Thank you. Just give me a moment here.

I'd like to tell people I've accepted that as a legitimate point of order from the member for Nepean, and we're in the process of trying to ascertain the actual answer to this.

All right. Thank you for --

Mr Curling: I want to say something before your ruling.

The First Deputy Chair: Okay. On the same point of order?

Mr Curling: I want to bring your attention to the same section, 11(a), as the member for Nepean had mentioned. It expressly says that, "The presence of at least 20 members of the House, including the Speaker" -- or the Chairman, I would presume -- "is necessary to constitute a meeting of the House for the exercise of its powers." We know that there are over 80-odd members of the Tories, and they are complaining that they can't find even sufficient members to constitute a quorum.

Now the other point I want to make: His comment that the leader of the third party said, "Let's go for a smoke," and I and other members followed; now, I want --

Interjections.

The First Deputy Chair: Order, please. I want to hear the point of order.

Mr Curling: The three members in the front there are not even in their seat and they are interrupting us.

The First Deputy Chair: You're not supposed to say that.

Mr Curling: But he keeps on interrupting me.

The First Deputy Chair: Can you continue with your point of order?

Mr Curling: The fact is, Madam Chair, that to say that I followed the honourable member for a smoke, I don't even smoke. So I feel that it is an insult, and my privilege --

Interjections.

Mr Curling: It is an insult to me that he made those comments. I'd like him to withdraw that, to begin with, because I did not follow any member to smoke because I don't even smoke.

The First Deputy Chair: Okay.

Mr Curling: Furthermore --

Interjections.

The First Deputy Chair: Order. Do you have another point?

Mr Curling: Yes. I don't want to take your time, Madam Chair, but the 20 members were not in the House at the time when quorum was checked; not maybe called, but when it was checked, no one was there. So I don't know what he's talking about. He saw members outside there. That's not on the floor.

The First Deputy Chair: Order, please. On the same point, the member for Dovercourt.

Mr Silipo: Well, Chair, I would just like to say first of all that standing order 11 --

The First Deputy Chair: Just a moment. I need to hear points of order. Leader of the third party, please come to order. I need to hear your colleague's point of order here. Order, please.

Mr Silipo: First of all, Chair, I would like to say that standing order 11(a) and standing order 19 have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Standing order 19 -- I know the member from Nepean tried to connect them in trying to get you to give a broad description or a broad definition of what would constitute the House but the point is, standing order 19 deals with the issue of whether strangers, which we know is a traditional term that's used to mean anybody other than a member or the appropriate officials -- anyone else is not allowed to be on the floor of the Legislative Assembly, and the only exception that has been made was when we had a member who required interpretation assistance and then there was an exception made in that case.

But that's a very different issue from the issue of quorum, which is, of course, covered under 11(a), and there it says very clearly, "The presence of 20 members is required." It doesn't define what kind of 20 members, it just says 20 members.

So the point is very clear, Chair, that at the point at which quorum is called and you ask the clerk to ascertain whether quorum is present or not, that's the point at which the count is taken and that's very simple; there are or there aren't 20 members in the House, not in the surroundings, not in the committees, not in the lobbies, but in the House.

The First Deputy Chair: Okay. Thank you. Now I have a clearer response to these points of orders, and I thank all the members for your submissions.

Within the rules, what it means to have members in the House is that they have to be within the clerk's view and not in the gallery. If they're in the clerk's view and they're not in the gallery, but they're somewhere within the confines of this area, which includes the -- what would you call that? -- exits and entrances to the lobbies; if you are in the clerk's view in those areas, you will be counted as the 20, but if you're in the gallery --

Interjections.

1550

The First Deputy Chair: Is that clear to everybody. I also want to respond to, although he's not here, the member for Scarborough North. I believe that he was offended by the implication of your comment, the member for Nepean, that he was going for a smoke. He does not smoke and I believe that he finds it offensive that it was inferred. I suppose it's not unparliamentary, but the member was offended. I would ask the member for Nepean, in the interests of decorum in this place, to withdraw that.

Mr Baird: Because I have so much respect for you personally, Madam Chair, I do.

The First Deputy Chair: Thank you.

I would add to that, the leader of the NDP party in my knowledge does not smoke either.

Mr Baird: On a point of order, Madam Chair: Just to clarify, I do withdraw my remarks with respect to the member for Scarborough North, but the leader of the third party did say, "Let's go for a smoke."

The First Deputy Chair: We'll drop this now and continue with our --

Interjection: The guy left seven times in an hour. One night you couldn't get him to leave all night.

The First Deputy Chair: Order, please. You know, we have gotten into the O's, don't you want to continue?

Mr Sergio: On a point of order, Madam Chair: Did I understand right that the member from Nepean started his point of order that no members of this House shall be allowed to bring strangers into this House?

The First Deputy Chair: Yes.

Mr Sergio: If that is the case, Madam Chair, I would bring to your attention clause 18 which says, "All strangers may be excluded from the House or any committee thereof on a motion properly moved and adopted by the House or the committee as the case may be." With respect to the quorum, my point of order is this.

Interjections.

The First Deputy Chair: Order, please.

Mr Sergio: Madam Chair, my point is this. I'm stating my point of order.

The First Deputy Chair: Go ahead; however, so far I see no connection.

Mr Sergio: I can hear, Madam Chair.

Interjections.

The First Deputy Chair: Order, please. Could you please get to that point of order.

Mr Sergio: Yes, my point of order is: What do strangers in the House -- there aren't any -- have to do with the call for a quorum?

The First Deputy Chair: Okay, thank you. I understand what you said, you're quite right, there wasn't a connection, but that is not a point of order.

Mr Sergio: But you have accepted --

The First Deputy Chair: Thank you, take your seat. There were, to my knowledge, no strangers in the House. I hope you're satisfied with that.

Mr Silipo: On a point of order, Madam Chair: I would just like to know whether this is the kind of delay tactic we're going to expect after every quorum call.

The First Deputy Chair: That is not a point of order, an interesting question, but not a point of order.

Mr Hampton: On a point of order, Chair: Just for the information of the member for Nepean, I don't smoke either. But the member for Scarborough used to smoke. He informed me now that he doesn't smoke any more.

The First Deputy Chair: Thank you. Okay, NDP motion, subsection 24(4): O'Hara Place. Shall the motion carry? All those in favour please say "aye." Those opposed please say "nay." In my opinion, the nays have it. The vote will be deferred.
