Mr. Chair, I was elected in 2006, so I am not very familiar with the procedures. At the moment, if we debate the amendment and then the motion, we are going to be short on time, and our next six meetings are really planned out. So I am a little concerned about the way things are going. Before I can tell you if I agree to consider this amendment or not, I would like you to clarify the situation.

Excuse me, Mr. Chair, I just want to finish. I appreciate Mr. Allen's approach and I assume that if he moves an amendment, it means that he will support it. I see that as a step forward on Mr. Allen's part and I am going to accept it.
