Colleagues, Mr. Van Kesteren is proposing an amendment that goes after the main motion. It reads:
And should the committee find in their investigation similar ethical practices by other parties...
I assume that's other persons. It could be individuals or a party—it's open.
....the committee will broaden their investigation to include the study of these ethical practices and make recommendations to Elections Canada as to whether these ethical practices ought to be continued.
Everybody has a different wording, but I understand the intent, and I think the members have made a reasonable offer to try to move us forward on this matter.
I'm going to rule the amendment in order.
Mr. Van Kesteren, you still have the floor, unless you'd like to pass your turn to one of your colleagues or continue to speak to the motion.
