-- Bernier (Gaspé) -- Bertrand -- Bélanger -- Canuel -- Debien -- Regan -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Gray (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada), seconded by Mr. Goodale (Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food), -- That a Message be sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that this House agrees to amendment number 4(a) made by the Senate to Bill C-69, An Act to provide for the establishment of electoral boundary commissions and the readjustment of electoral boundaries, and this House disagrees with amendments numbers 1, 2, 3, 4(b), 4(c), 5, 6 and 7 for the following reasons: The bill was, in accordance with the new procedures of this House, prepared by a Committee of the House. While amendment number 4(a) corrects an omission, the other amendments address points, each of which were supported by Members representing at least two of the three parties officially recognized in the House. Taken together, the bill represents a balance aimed at improving the responsiveness of the system of readjusting electoral boundaries both to rapid shifts of population and to the operative realities of effective representation of the people, a balance that, in the opinion of this House, requires: (a) in view of the varied Canadian geography and demography, the retention of a variation of up to 25% from the electoral quota of each province (addressed by amendments numbers 1 and 6(a)); (b) the avoidance of unnecessary electoral boundary adjustments in provinces where shifts of population do not require them (addressed in amendments numbers 2, 3, 5, 6(b)(i) and 7); (c) the clear acceptance of the non-partisan status of members of commissions through the provision of parliamentary oversight of appointments (addressed by amendments numbers 4(b) and 4(c)); (d) the retention of the definition of ``community of interest" developed on a non-partisan basis by currently serving elected representatives, through a consensus of all parties, in the House of Commons Standing Committee rather than the substitution of another definition (addressed by amendment number 6(b)(ii)); And of the amendment of Mr. Hermanson (Kindersley -- Lloydminster), seconded by Mr. Harper (Calgary West), -- That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word ``That" and substituting the following: ``a Message be sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that this House agrees to amendments numbers 1, 4(a), 6(a) and 6(b)(i), made by the Senate to Bill C-69, An Act to provide for the establishment of electoral boundary commissions and the readjustment of electoral boundaries, and this House disagrees with amendments numbers 2, 3, 4(b), 4(c), 5, 6(b)(ii), 6(c) and 7." The debate continued. At 11:16 p.m., pursuant to the Order made earlier today under the provisions of Standing Order 57, the Speaker interrupted the proceedings. The question was put on the amendment and it was negatived on the following division:
