First of all, if I have to make a decision to render an amendment unreceivable, I always give a reason. I elaborate the reason.
Now, Madam Clerk, would questions amount to debate or would that just be a normal course of events? My understanding is that if we start going back and forth, that's debate.
Is it admissible, Madam Clerk, for a member to say “I don't understand specifically why you said this in your decision”? Is that considered debate? That would seem reasonable, as long as we don't start arguing the point.
