I do not want to challenge your ruling, Mr. Chair, but I think you are being very harsh. We amend motions all the time. It is harsh on your part because the change does not completely set aside Mr. Lemieux's motion; it is an addition that bolsters his request. I think that if you keep to that decision, we will have problems every time we want to put forward an amendment.
