Thank you very much.
I'm just going to hold on for less than one minute. I want to address the concern that Mr. Shields brought up, if you just give me one second.
Okay, folks. I just want you to bear with me for a moment as I'm going through the Standing Orders in the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition.
I wanted to provide this as clarification on where I'm going. It talks about the motion itself as amended:
An amendment must be relevant to the motion it seeks to amend. It must not stray from the main motion but must aim to refine its meaning and intent. An amendment should take the form of a motion to....
In other words, what they cite here is that:
it is irrelevant to the main motion (i.e., it deals with a matter foreign to the main motion, exceeds its scope, or introduces a new proposition which should properly be the subject of a separate substantive motion with notice)
There is, in my opinion, a substantial amount to deal with in this particular amendment. Therefore, I have to seek unanimous consent to allow this motion to be debated.
Mr. Housefather.
