Sorry.
Someone has moved 48 hours' notice.
Mr. Ménard, you moved 48 hours' notice?

I think that Ms. Jennings would accept 24 hours in the spirit of cooperation and of our friendship.

The Chair Conservative Rick Dykstra
Okay. Twenty-four hours' notice. With or without the amendment, I believe your point is substantiated either way.

My point is only substantiated if the amendment is defeated, and I think the examples given by Mr. Lee--

The Chair Conservative Rick Dykstra
Let me thank you for your comments. What I would consider not to be a substantial motion is the case of two witnesses showing up and one having to leave early so they ask if they can appear in reverse order. That, to me, would be nothing substantive. That's something we could determine.

No, it's not, but once we move past that, we are going to get into substantive issues, I believe, and when that's the case, we're going to need 48 hours' notice, and that's how I'm going to rule.

I don't wish to engage in an argument. I've explained my position and my viewpoint concerning the amendment that has been proposed by Mr. Moore. I don't support it.

I move the motion, but I also have an amendment.
As it's written, we need at least a couple of days for everyone at the table here to get a list of witnesses in place, and there's no way you can just simply pull that up and have it ready for today.
