Yes, I can understand that, Mr. Chair, but new elements have been added. New questions are being asked. The clerk or the appropriate person cannot answer without obtaining the required information first. As I was saying, an amendment has been proposed. I think it would be fair and equitable for the whole House if we had some information before voting. We are talking about Thursday. We don't want to cause indefinite delays. If we proceed in this manner, we will have an opportunity to clarify the issue. In addition, Mr. Reid could obtain information about the intent and get back to us. You could answer our questions.
