Beauchesne's sixth edition is fairly clear about imputing motives. The member inferred that others, possibly even me, are in this to play games. I want to indicate very clearly to members of this committee that I don't see this as a game at all. I believe the coronavirus is a very serious issue in Canada. I have some very tangible ideas and thoughts on what PROC should be doing. I would like to expand on those a great deal, and I don't necessarily want members of the committee to read in my motivations, or imply any sort of motive, that I am going to play games, because I take this issue very seriously.
I can assure committee members that I am not alone. My understanding, based on your ruling on the previous point of order, Madam Chair, just so that I have it straight, is that the committee is open to hearing from members of the entire House, but they have to show up at the committee and indicate this. To answer Ms. Vecchio's question, she can't just submit a list—at least I don't think she can, based on my knowledge.
