Procedurally, I am told, we have an amendment here, and we would then go into a debate on the amendment again.
We have a motion that has been submitted. It was not submitted on time. A lot of what was in that motion, which will be coming later, is close to what is being amended here today.
I would ask Madam Lalonde.... First, this is not a friendly amendment--you're not accepting this amendment--so we would go into debate on the amendment.
To go through your motion point by point—and there are perhaps 20 points—is not procedurally correct. This is not a bill. We have to pass or defeat the motion as a whole. As for going through it point by point, this is not legislation; this is not a bill that's being brought forward. That's how we would deal with a bill. A motion is a motion. Unless there is a friendly amendment, or an amendment, that is the only way we would proceed.
Madame Lalonde.
