…my comment is about the point of order from the members of the governing party. Mr. Chair, you yourself said that, if the question had been raised at the outset, you would have said that the amendment was out of order. You did not hesitate to declare the first motion out of order. When a member feels that an amendment is out of order because it goes contrary to the main motion, I believe he can make the chair aware of that fact at any time. As chair, you have already said that, if you had been asked the question earlier, you would have said that the amendment was out of order. But that did not happen. You did not hesitate to rule the first motion out of order. Mr. Chair. This amendment really is out of order. It is contrary to the intent of the motion and you have to tell us now whether it is in order or not.
