Thank you very much, Chair.
Once again, I want to acknowledge that, despite the rulings, I really appreciate the Chair’s allowing members to articulate their rationale for or against the extension. I certainly hope Ms. Freeman will be given that latitude because in order to get to a point, you do have to give a little of why you're getting there. That is part of the reason for debate because if that reason did not exist, every time a motion got moved, the only thing we could say is yea or nay, and we'd vote on it and we'd be out of here.
That's not what parliamentary debate is about, and that's not what this committee is about. It gives parliamentarians the right to talk on an issue, not once, not twice, but an endless number of times, as long as they are relevant.
Thank you, Chair.
