Chair, I just want some clarification from you, or from the clerk, through you.
My understanding, based on what you had mentioned earlier, was that independent members were welcome to sit at the committee to introduce their amendments. I would like some clarification on what “PV” means, because Ms. May is claiming it means Parti vert, which is the Green Party, which does not have official party status.
But I'm not trying to make that point. The point I'm making is technical in nature.
To go back, if that's the case, then we actually have an issue here. If the Green Party doesn't actually have official party status, then technically they cannot be making amendments at this particular committee, whereas private members actually can. So I would ask for clarification, through you, Mr. Chair, on whether or not this amendment is in order.
