I'll make it brief, then.
I agree with Mr. Scott's reasoning behind this and the watertight example that he gives. Obviously with someone being treated...as the seat remains vacant so therefore it gets around the idea of someone just up and quitting and avoiding prosecution.... I totally agree. I can read between the lines and I know who we're talking about here, but I still agree that this is the thing to do.
My only concern deals with, and correct me if I'm wrong.... This is more for clarification with Mr. Scott. “The Senate or the House of Commons adopts a motion declaring....” I'm a little leery about adopting a motion where we put ourselves in the realm of the majority rules. Is that how you see this working?
