I understand. But my ruling was on the motion, not the amendment. The member put in an amendment adding “making recommendations”. Some members may argue that is the responsibility of Procedure and House Affairs.
I gave some latitude to Mr. Van Kesteren, based on his presentation, that the intent of the motion was to be comprehensive and give our findings to whoever they might help. I bent a little bit to allow that to be in order.
Mr. Wallace, I'm sorry I've taken all this time, but for that reason I'm advising you that it would not be proper to go through the Canada Elections Act to debate whether this motion should be adopted. That's my ruling.
Mr. Ménard is next on a point of order.
