Just as a point of order first, Mr. Chair, I am, of course, new to this committee today, and I don't know what the rules are about proper notice or placing items on the agenda, but the agenda that I have today suggests that we are talking about a freeze on departmental budget envelopes and government operations. And we are talking about the economic stimulus package; we are not talking about the further enhancement of the Parliamentary Budget Officer's ability to obtain information.
The motion seems to go into every department and into service-level standards, and so on, which makes it very broad, and seems to me to go way beyond the scope of the orders of the day, without even notice. So I just propose to you, Mr. Chair, that this motion is not in order.
