Mr. Chairman, could I just make a point of order here? We're studying a bill here, Mr. Chairman, and for reasons totally not explained, Mr. Brown now wishes to invite our witnesses to cost out a platform position from a previous election, made by one of our recognized parties in the House.
I don't see this as being relevant at all to the costs involved in Bill C-10. I think it's not only irrelevant, but it's unfair to ask our officials to cost out something that a political party might have recommended a day ago or a hundred years ago. I just do not see the relevance.
That's my point: relevance.
