Mr. Chair, I'd like to speak on the same point of order.
I believe the committee elected you, so I trust you implicitly about the speaking order. You had recognized the member for Louis‑Saint‑Laurent. In any case, I could not propose an amendment to a motion that had not been moved. My intention was to move an amendment.
I think that, to ensure that the committee runs smoothly, it would be preferable to simply let the member for Louis‑Saint‑Laurent finish reading his motion. Then we can talk about the substance of the motion.
I don't think it's in the interest of our fellow citizens to waste endless time on procedural considerations.
The committee trusts you entirely to conduct the debate properly.
