Absolutely, that's correct. For the reasons already set out, I think when we bring in departmental experts, their job is to try to tell us what the implication of an amendment or a motion would be for the Criminal Code. To table-drop that creates a situation where perhaps we're not all getting the best possible advice we could get if someone had time to consider it. All the legislation we deal with is pretty significant and technical, and I think 48 hours' notice...if we're dealing with a bill, it just means that motions impacting on that bill, or other motions, would have to be in 48 hours before.
