Look, I'm going to rule on this. The fact is, as the chair, I have to accept the amendments. It's on page 998 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice:
Normally, there is no requirement to give notice of amendments moved at committee stage. However, to ensure an orderly and comprehensive consideration of a bill, a committee may adopt a motion requiring that Members submit their amendments to the committee clerk before the beginning of the clause-by-clause consideration; such a motion does not prevent the tabling of amendments once clause-by-clause consideration has begun, unless the committee decides otherwise.
We did set an administrative deadline. I think that is the best way for me to put it. So I'm going to rule the amendments in order.
They're in order but I would agree with some of the comments that it's not very good. The reason we have deadlines is, frankly, for the chair and for the functioning of the committee. I would just point out that I hope this is not a precedent for future bills, that the opposition copies.
