I have a question on procedure.
It was my understanding that we dealt with amendments by the order in which they were tabled before the committee. It struck me that in the list we've been given, and subsequently, Liberal amendments dealing with clause 18—You have an NDP amendment dealing with clause 18 and a government amendment dealing with clause 18, but the Liberal amendments, which were tabled last, are being brought forth by the numbering here prior to the amendments by the NDP, which were tabled first, and prior to the amendments by the government, which were tabled second. The Liberal amendments came last.
May I ask why these amendments have been numbered and placed in the order where Liberal amendments are being dealt with first on each clause, when normally they would be dealt with last?
