Thank you, Madam Chair.
With regard to addressing some of the comments made, I'm going to be supporting Mr. Fergus's amendment.
The concern I have is that it is important for us, I believe, in the future, if we're going to be bringing in amendments.... It's not enough to just hear witness testimony on the generality of what we're trying to deal with, but it's important to hear testimony on the specifics of the amendment. There are going to be diverse groups that could comment specifically on amendments that are being proposed, and what the other parties have done is to limit the witness testimony we can have.
I would love to hear some testimony on this, but we're not going to do that, so I will make that point and then carry on, Madam Chair.
I want to ask a question on the issue of admissibility of various amendments coming up. Will you be advising us in advance of your views on admissibility? Normally that would be the case. I just want to check, as we proceed, if you'll be advising us in advance on whether various amendments are within the scope of the bill.
