Just on what you were saying, Mr. Chairman, if I may, I think the suggestion you make might introduce new problems. Going on the experience we've had in the past, when I think it was the then Alliance caucus split and a number of members became the democratic reform members, they were not registered under the Canada Elections Act, but they occupied a group. They were like a little collective, if you will.
As I read this standing order, they would then be covered under subsection (2), that is to say, the Speaker would not have to treat them as “one question or one statement a week” people; it would be left to his discretion, as it's always been in the past before this.
