He's not reading my full amendment.
Mr. Chair, you have to read my full amendment, with a period after “during the 2006 election”, and eliminate the balance of the motion.
That way, we're discussing the investigation of actions of all three parties in the election of 2006, period. The part about the public office holders and all those other things would be eliminated in my amendment.

Order, please.
I understand that the amendment deletes everything after the word “election” and putting in the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois.
The amendment is out of order.

It is beyond the scope, and it changes the nature of the motion adopted by the committee, which was to look at the ethical....
Order! Order, please.
I have ruled that it's out of order for the reason that including other parties is beyond the scope and the extent of the motion adopted by the committee. Under the last paragraph of our mandate, it is specified that we deal only with public office holders, of which there are none in the Liberal or Bloc parties.
I would therefore rule it out of order for those reasons.

I don't know why I'm even in here. I have no idea why I'm sitting here. You won't let me speak. You won't let me say anything. You've even cut off my microphone. I can't make the microphone work. The lights are going next.
