Chair, I'd just like to know what Mr. Easter is up to. I ask the question because we all know....
Chair, we've been working together for roughly two or two and a half years, and we have well-established procedures here on committee. One of the procedures we've always agreed to is that we would handle motions in the order in which they were presented. We've held to this time and time again.
There have been other times, Chair, when a Conservative member has had something on the table that he feels is extremely important and should be moved ahead. We've always deferred to our committee practice. We've always had discussion and then we've always deferred to our committee practice of motions being dealt with in the order in which they were presented.
Now, that doesn't mean that the movers of particular motions...they can pull them off the table. We have here a list of 16 motions. Mr. Easter feels he's special today: somehow his sixteenth motion should rocket right to the top, right to the front, number one, for the first time in two and a half years....
So I think my question is a valid one in terms of what is--
