Ordre du Jour

A debate arose on the motion for Third Reading of Bill 128, An Act respecting social housing.

Il s'élève un débat sur la motion portant troisième lecture du projet de loi 128, Loi concernant le logement social.

After some time, the question having been put, the Deputy Speaker (Mr. Brown) put the question, and declared his opinion that the Ayes had it, and a recorded vote having been demanded,

Après quelque temps, la motion mise aux voix, le vice-président M. Brown met la motion aux voix, et déclare qu'à son avis les voix favorables l'emportent et un vote par appel nominal a été demandé,

The Deputy Speaker directed that the Members be called in, for which purpose the division bells were rung.

Le vice-président donne des directives pour convoquer les députés et la sonnerie d'appel se fait entendre.

During the ringing of the bells, the Deputy Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Pendant la sonnerie d'appel, le vice-président s'adresse à l'Assemblée en ces mots:-

I have received a request from the Chief Government Whip, under Standing Order 28(h), that the vote on the motion for Third Reading of Bill 128, An Act respecting social housing be deferred until December 12, 2000.

J'ai reçu une requête du Whip en chef du gouvernement, conformément à l'article 28(h) du Règlement, que le vote sur la motion portant troisième lecture du projet de loi 128, Loi concernant le logement social soit différé jusqu'au 12 décembre 2000.

Therefore the vote is accordingly deferred.

En conséquence, le vote est différé.

The House then adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
