Mr. Chair, obviously the committee would deal with what the committee deals with. I don't know that I am comfortable commenting on what the Speaker would decide. Ultimately it's up to the Speaker to determine whether the member has had an opportunity, as you say, to move the amendment in committee. I wouldn't substitute my judgment for his, obviously, but what you say is not.... That would go into the interpretation the Speaker would give to it at report stage. He would look at all of those elements, that included.
