I don’t wish to prolong the debate, Mr. Chair, but we have just received the text of the motion, and I want to fully understand the impact it could have.
The aim is not to be disrespectful to anyone, but I simply want to analyze the situation. If I understand correctly, this could prolong the study, because it would require the House to agree to debate a report and then issue broader instructions. However, the House is currently holding very few debates on committee reports. So I do not know where this could fit in.
Mr. Genuis, I understand your intention to broaden the scope of the bill. The aim is very noble, but today we have seen the importance of this bill. It is a long-awaited bill. Please understand me correctly: I am not saying this in a negative sense. I am simply wondering to what extent this might delay the clause-by-clause consideration.
I am putting forward an idea for consideration: Perhaps this would be best examined by the subcommittee of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. There might even be an agreement between the various parties.
As we have only just received the text of the motion, I have not yet had time to form an opinion on the consequences it could have.
