With your permission, I'm not asking for special accommodation. I'm just asking for the rules as they currently are in the rules of House of Commons Procedure and Practice. Our rule book, O'Brien and Bosc, is fine with me. I can present amendments at report stage, and I will not abuse the right to present amendments at report stage. However, report stage happens once a day in one place, not in multiple places at multiple times on multiple bills simultaneously.
This is a very damaging motion to the rights of MPs in smaller parties. Or, if any of those currently sitting with a party should become independents over the next period of years, which is the experience that you've had, Mr. Chair, it will definitely not be easy. This makes it so much harder.
I'm very bitterly disappointed that the government House Leader has made this decision to ask all of you to pass this. I would ask you, please, to demonstrate to Canadians that we don't have a lot of clouds on sunny ways.
