As the chair, I'm going to say that the issue is this: does this committee wish to have the Parliamentary Budget Officer provide costing for private members' bills? As the chair, I found his costing very helpful for private members' bills. It certainly helped me in terms of analyzing private members' bills. That's one issue. There seems to be agreement on that, but then there's a concern with respect to whether he has the budget to do so. That's tough to say because it varies according to what kinds of bills are on the order of precedence.
My suggestion is that there's an amendment that clearly states something and there's a motion that clearly states something. We can debate this until four o'clock. I sort of know where everybody is and everybody else knows where everybody is, so I'm recommending, as the chair, that we move to a vote on the amendment and then a vote on the motion. I'm not sure whether the opposition is okay with the second motion by Mr. Hoback or whether that has to be introduced as an amendment, but that is my recommendation.
Again, the committee members can put their names on a list and speak until whenever. I still have Mr. Hoback and Mr. Brison.
