| Today, as members know, most private members' bills and motions are votable and therefore have a real chance of becoming law. |
|
| This time, surprise. It will be votable and we will see who has the guts to support it, to vote in favour of it. |
|
| Criteria were established regarding these bills which are votable by default but which would not be votable if the criteria were not met. |
|
| It is unfortunate the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice would not provide concurrence to make this a votable item. |
|
| Once again, I want to commend the hon. member for Nepean for presenting this votable motion. |
|
| Members should also note that unless specifically designated as non-votable, all private members' business items will be votable. |
|
| If it meets the criteria, however many criteria there are, it should be votable. |
|
| Therefore, I ask the unanimous consent of the House to make this bill votable. |
|
| This motion standing in the name of the hon. member for Churchill is not votable. |
|
| The member, a backbencher, has experienced it firsthand with the introduction of this bill which went through committee to have it made votable. |
|
| Now that mine has been made votable, it has sparked wide interest of course. |
|
| Since the motion has not been selected as a votable item, the item is dropped from the order paper. |
|
| He went further by telling Parliament that it was 'unfortunate' that the motion put forward by Woodworth was even deemed votable. |
|

|
| Six of these items are chosen by a committee to be votable and must come to a vote in the House. |
|
| I would love the opportunity for her or any other member on that side to put forward a votable, private member's piece of business in every parliament. |
|
| This is a private member's bill that is not a votable item, but would make it an offence under the criminal code to wilfully desecrate the Canadian flag. |
|
| First, I join my colleague in bemoaning the fact that the committee in charge of making bills votable would not allow the House not only to debate this substantive issue, but also to vote on it. |
|
| That is why it is unfortunate that this motion is not a votable item. |
|
| Understandably, debating bills that have not been declared votable is not very motivating for members, but we tell ourselves that it will advance the issue and that there will be discussions. |
|
|
|
| In closing, I seek unanimous consent to have this motion made votable. |
|
| It would appear that the bill we are debating here has been deemed not to be votable by the Sub-committee on Private Members Business, because it did not meet the above criterion. |
|
| Could I have forgotten, when I was working on the bill, work that took more than two years, incidentally, to check if my bill met all six of the criteria used to determine if it would be deemed votable? |
|
| Pursuant to Standing Order 92, a private member's item may only be considered by the House after a final decision on the votable status of the item has been made. |
|
| There will be a votable motion at 10pm but until I know what the motion says and I've heard the evidence I won't make a decision on how to vote. |
|
| It will be based on a votable motion, the successful end result of which would be that Parliament will have recognised the genocide. |
|
| Hobson Manufacturing, leading aerospace fastener company, chooses the Votable. |
