For Mr. Bergeron's benefit, I will say that this rule was created for Ms. May and the Green Party in the House of Commons.

Two Parliaments ago, Ms. May introduced almost 2,000 budget amendments in the House of Commons. We voted on each amendment for two days. At that time, there was no rule allowing the Green Party to table amendments in committee, which is why this rule now exists in all committees.
