I'm very sorry. There are a number of issues at stake here, let alone the substance of these motions. There's a great deal of concern out there, Mr. Chairman, about some of the cuts that the government has announced last week. If I'm outside of the rules as set by the committee in order to give notice of motion, then I need to know that, because it is my understanding, my belief--if I'm wrong, I'll admit it and I'll recognize it--that I gave notice in due course, in due time for it to be debated today. I did not know at any time of a member of a committee who has the task of distributing the motion to all the members.
I'm under the impression, from having been on a number of committees, that I have a responsibility to get it to the clerk. I even provided it in both official languages, on top of that. Was I erring? Did I not respect the provisions as they were set out by the committee? I think it's important I know that in order to be able to function properly.
