Mr. Legislative Clerk, with respect, I would submit that the position I have taken is in line with the amendments that have been already passed. Therefore, the underlying premise that the chair indicated with respect to the admissibility of this particular amendment is, in my submission, incorrect. I'm therefore asking the chair to reconsider the position and not necessarily have it go to a vote.
Perhaps you and the chair could discuss the appropriateness of moving forward with the vote and the chair reconsidering the decision.
