Mr. Chairman, I understand the reason my colleague brought up the point of order. The matter has not been referred to us by the House, but by another committee, and the clauses and amendments are before that committee. That is partly the reason why what I put before this committee this morning were motions, not amendments.
In that context, and having heard my colleagues now, perhaps we might listen to the minister and debate these issues. I think we can address the issues of motions even though the issue of amendments might have been of a different character.
