I understand the rationale for putting something like this forward, but I could see a scenario wherein I don't like a motion and I begin to speak, once I have the chair's consent—he recognizes me—and I speak for two days, and the motion never gets debated. I wouldn't like to see that kind of scenario, and that's certainly what this opens us up to. We'd prefer the language to remain as it is currently crafted.
