I thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate that a lot has gone on in this particular committee, but Madame Boivin mentioned earlier the question of why one bill was reported back to the House without due cause or adequate reasoning—and there was some struggle on that—and why we're requiring this amendment to the original motion by Mr. Garrison. I think part of the answer lies in what Mr. Anderson brought up earlier. As a new member of Parliament, elected last year, I didn't know that there needs to be adequate cause, so I just want to thank my colleague for bringing that forward.
In regard to the issue, though, of the multiple amendments that were put aside because of the first one being adopted, I just think, from my perspective, that they weren't given full consideration. I think that's probably going to have more to do with the Speaker's decision, because I think every member of Parliament should have the right to bring forward an amendment and to have that amendment discussed, particularly if it is some consequence.
In summing up, Mr. Chair, I appreciate the situation that Mr. Rathgeber described earlier, and I certainly look forward to, at some point, a resolution by this body.
Thank you.
