That is not true, Mr. Chair. I am free to use my time in debate to try to convince my colleagues why they shouldn't vote for this motion. If I can pose a convincing argument that this motion should not even be considered here, that could be a reason that could convince them, that could tip them over the point of consideration as to why they should oppose it.
Before you rule me out of relevance, give me the opportunity to make my arguments, because you don't know the impact my words might have on my colleagues.
