Accordingly, the Bill, as amended, was concurred in at report stage with further amendments and ordered for a third reading at the next sitting of the House.

Pursuant to Standing Order 45, the House resumed consideration of the motion of Mrs. Stewart (Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development), seconded by Mr. Patry (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development), -- That Bill C-39, An Act to amend the Nunavut Act and the Constitution Act, 1867, be now read a third time and do pass.

The House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the amendment of Mr. Konrad (Prince Albert), seconded by Mr. Hilstrom (Selkirk -- Interlake), -- That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word "That" and substituting the following:

"this House declines to give third reading to Bill C-39, An Act to amend the Nunavut Act and the Constitution Act, 1867, since the principle of the Bill does not guarantee that the Government will select Senators who have been lawfully elected in a territorial Senate election.»

The question was put on the amendment and it was negatived on the following division:

YEAS: 45, NAYS: 188. (See list under Division No. 185)
