Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To pick up on part of the line of questioning put by Ms. Mathyssen, I'm wondering if you could clarify, Mr. Reid, that if this motion were adopted and the Standing Orders were changed accordingly, and there was an attempt to change the Standing Orders when there wasn't consensus, pursuant to convention, it theoretically could result in protracted debate in the House.
In terms of how that would impact other business of the House, could you clarify that the debate would take precedence in the time of concurrence, but thereafter it would not take precedence? It would only be debated at the adjournment of government business and, therefore, would not impede the government from moving forward other pieces of legislation.
