Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I've been listening to this debate and I see both sides. I respect and I agree with my colleague that opportunity is afforded to independents. At the same time, I listened to Mr. Martin, and his biggest concern is that as members of Parliament they don't have a chance to vote on this issue.
In the spirit of cooperation, could we make an addition to this motion? It should say that when a member is presenting a change or an amendment it is allowed for him to have a vote.
Obviously, somebody would have to take the place of that vote. For example, if Ms. May were here and she wanted to vote, there's the normal coalition that we have between the numbers of those. Possibly Mr. Martin could step aside and let Ms. May take that vote. That would be a possible solution and they'd still have the opportunity to vote.
I'd like to make that proposal for an amendment to the motion.
