Mr. Chair, that's a point of order, so on that point of order, my concern is that the Standing Orders are clear that amendments may be made verbally in a committee, not in writing, and may come in the language of the member's choice. I'm not saying it wouldn't be helpful, but I'm concerned [Technical difficulty—Editor] following the Standing Orders. I really think we do better when we stick to the Standing Orders, because in debate and in committee it's quite different when giving notice of motion and presenting motions, which need to come in both official languages. But I do want to retain the right of members to make amendments to motions in one of the two official languages, French or English, and we can do our best to try to circulate them.
This would not nullify the motion. I think it would be very dangerous and I want to make sure that we follow the Standing Orders. The clerk can confirm if I'm right or wrong.
