Madam Chair, after the discussion we have just had, and based on our feelings since we started to study this bill, we are dealing with it in unnecessary haste. That is what has led to this kind of situation.
I share Ms. Duncan’s opinion that rules are rules. Unfortunately, I was not here last week and I was not able to meet the deadline for submitting amendments.
I have stopped submitting them because I play by the rules. Some colleagues may submit amendments after the designated date by claiming an error in translation, an error in the text, or some kind of error, and that’s all well and good. But do some committee members have the privilege of submitting an amendment after the deadline? I am not very comfortable with that.
