My motion contains three points, Mr. Chairman.
First, I would like to point out that my whip instructed me that the Bloc Québécois does not want committees to meet more than twice a week, generally speaking, because the workload has been shared among all our members. This instruction does not apply specifically to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, but rather to all committees. In fact, I'm told that this principle was adopted by all the whips, including the government whip. We agreed with respect to our study of the bill to amend the Judges Act. I think we must continue with that, but once the study of Bill C-17 is completed, I do not think our whips will authorize us to sit on the same committee more than twice a week. I am bound by this decision. If your whip wants to raise this matter at the meeting of all the whips, that is his prerogative.
Mr. Chairman, do you want to study my motion point by point, or shall I explain all three points at once?
