Mr. Chair, I raised a question of privilege, but you have not yet given me the floor.
I just want it noted in the minutes that I am raising a question of privilege about what happened. I asked to move an amendment, and you answered that I would have the opportunity to do so. We then voted on another amendment, but now you want to vote on the motion without hearing our amendments. I want it noted in the minutes that you promised me, very clearly, that two other amendments could be proposed, but that you then changed your mind, perhaps because you're in a hurry.
Right now, we don't have freedom of expression in this committee. We can't speak clearly and propose the amendments we want to propose. We could have moved them once and for all to debate them, but you told us we had to wait and proceed one amendment at a time. That's what you said, Mr. Chair. You said it in English, and that was interpreted into French in my ear. So I expect us to be able to propose our amendments. You promised it, and then you changed your mind.
Please at least explain to us why you changed your mind. That would be very relevant. Right now, we have two amendments that are very relevant to the motion, to help you and to ensure that we can work together. However, now, we can't speak our minds.
