Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I think we have seen the type of democracy this government has to offer. After showing some openness a while ago, it is now resorting to another gag order and refusing that a motion be sponsored by another colleague, thus eliminating that motion from the Order Paper.
I only wanted to ask, since we will now proceed with the debate on the amendments to Bill C-20 proposed by the Bloc Quebecois and some other parties, if you intend to hand down your ruling on the question of privilege raised by our colleague, the hon. member for Rimouski—Mitis, concerning the way some of our amendments were dealt with, before we begin debate.
