I have some sympathy for what John has raised here, and we'll hear a ruling from the chair if that's what's required.
It's difficult, because this is an attempt to try to understand what the implications are, and that's why we have an administrative deadline, but it's not a hard deadline, as far as I'm aware, of bringing a motion up until the moment of.
I don't know if the government would contemplate bringing them at report stage, or even if that would be in order, just to give us the time to figure out what the implications are. This affects OAS, from my initial understanding, and that matters to people. It's not one of those things you want to rush at the last second and get wrong.
If that's not possible procedurally, and I seek that through you, Chair, then I suspect that it is in order. But we're sitting here looking through, on our BlackBerrys, the actual act itself to try to determine what the impact will be. It's fine that we have an official here, but it's a trust exercise that we're eventually into. You can forgive us for having some level of mistrust when it comes to Conservative omnibus bills.
So I think it's probably in order, but it's not very good. It certainly asks for a lot of faith that hasn't been earned with respect to just what the changes will be to our social security system.
