I have an additional argument to make, if I may, Mr. Chair. He says that it was discussed at the committee. Earlier on, Mr. Komarnicki said that it had been adopted in other committees. Have other committees adopted it? We should also know the logic behind it. I could easily give other examples of decisions by other committees that would be in keeping with our views.
So there are two things. First of all, he must tell us which committee adopted it, if any have, and why. If we support the reason fundamentally, we might support the motion. However, up until now, the logic we have used, and that we have been reminded of often by the Speaker of the House, is that we are masters of our procedure and our work. If that is the way it is, we will appreciate that.
Moreover, between you and me, I will acknowledge one thing. Normally, we consider government legislation, as those bills are the ones that normally take priority. But sometimes that is not the case, and the committee must be in a position to appreciate that.
