Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With respect, I must admit that I have looked into this. You say that all of the committees have adopted a similar motion. I asked around and I was told the opposite, that is, that all committees use indirectly what is currently available, namely standing order 108(1)a), which was amended and which allows us to append dissenting or different opinions.
We can do it, it is possible. But if we do it systematically, it means that the committee cannot use some discretionary powers and must choose to proceed in that way in some cases but not in others. Now, it will be done systematically: anyone at any time can draft a dissenting opinion. According to what I have been told, all of the committees are operating as they have done in the past. We, the Bloc Québécois, have not changed our mind. We favour the status quo. It is up to the committees, when they produce a report, to decide how they will include any dissenting opinions that may have been expressed; they can even go as far as to limit the length of the text.
