Thank you, Chair, for recognizing me.
I don't intend to have the last word on this, but since we're going to have a recorded vote, I want to make sure viewers understand where I'm coming from in making this decision. I won't be supporting this motion, for the reason that was stated before. In principle, I agree with Mr. Fortin, and I agree with the intention of the motion in respect of both official languages in our Parliament and all of those procedures, but I think in practice it makes it very difficult for members to quickly raise a point to perhaps amend a motion. For members who realize that their motion could be improved and are looking for a colleague to make an amendment, it would delay the process. For example, what we're dealing with right now will probably take another 10-minute suspension before everything is translated. I think it would just prolong the procedure.
For that reason, I cannot support this motion. I just want to make sure that's on record.
Thank you, Chair.
