Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am sure that you would like to strictly adhere to the rules of voting. Since the member for London West was not in her seat when the motion was read, I think you would not want to have her vote recorded on the vote just held.

Mr. Speaker, I was here for the last vote, but I was not here for the one before it.

The Speaker Peter Milliken
I do not know what the facts are in this case, but the hon. member for London West knows that hon. members must be in their seats when the question is put to the House. That is the point made by the hon. member for Edmonton—Sherwood Park.
I have no knowledge of the matter. The member says she was here. That appears to be the end of the dispute.
But I would remind hon. members that that is the rule of the House and they will want to comply with it in every respect.
