Mr. Chair, with all due respect to our colleagues....
Mr. Davies, I've been part of many bills and reviews of many studies. I believe Mr. Ellis was merely stating the background as to why CPC-1 is relevant to this study. Whether it's at this committee or others, the chair has given latitude to members, whether they're Liberals, NDP, Greens, Bloc or Conservatives. They're allowed to explain the rationale behind an amendment, and that's all our colleague is doing.
Explanations can be short or they can be long. It's whatever it takes to adequately express the purpose behind the amendment. That's all my colleague is doing.
I think Mr. Davies is probably going to chime in with more points of order today, as it seems to be the way things are going. However, with all due respect, Mr. Chair, I think you have done a good job of giving the latitude to allow our colleagues to express.... Whether it's to us, the Liberals or the NDP, there's an enormous amount of latitude that the chair will give a member to adequately express the mindset behind their amendment.
