By all means.
The answer here is that we have certainly done business in this way for a long time. I recognize you're not normally here, but this committee tends to work in a fairly collegial manner and moves things forward. I don't remember in my time as chair ever having to say at the start of a debate, “Here's my ruling,” so that we can start the debate. That's not the case, and it isn't the case in our Standing Orders that the chair must make a ruling to start a debate.
Mr. McKay tabled a motion. Mr. Lukiwski amended it. Usually in a friendly manner in this committee that's what happens. Mr. McKay didn't say “No, no, no.” Nobody on the floor said “No, it's not in order.” I said “Let's debate it.” We made a speakers list and we started through it. Five or six speakers in, I started to get points of order. That's a fairly good recap of where we are.
