To Mr. Erskine-Smith, you might want to have a chat with your chair about informal conversations that were had about this particular meeting being a meeting to discuss business, which didn't happen in consultation with members of this committee. Afterwards, we got a notice of motion. You used the term “jammed”.
The other thing is that I do not need a lecture on my rights as a parliamentarian to move motions related to the business at hand. I don't need that. I understand this. I've tried to word it as neutrally as possible and made it as open as possible. This committee can come to an objective, rational position on a very hot topic, and just because members of this committee can't think quickly enough, so it seems, I don't need a lecture.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
