Mr. Chair, along the lines of the issue Mr. Bigras raised, I'm concerned that we're trying to reinvent the wheel.
The finance committee apparently have already approved all of their rules and they're on to the substance, which I would like us to move on to. They came up with a compromise of 36 hours, and they aren't getting into the detail of whether the clerk has the flu and blah, blah, blah. Their rule is that 36 hours' notice be required for any substantive motion to be considered by the committee unless the substantive motion relates directly to the business then under consideration, and that the notice of motion be filed with the clerk of the committee and distributed to members in both official languages.
I suggest we just keep it clean and simple and not get into all kinds of combinations and permutations.
