I have a point of order, Madam Chair.
I'm going to be very brief, because I know we want to get to the amendments to Bill C-7, but I'm going to put forward a motion. Before I do, I just want to note that a number of physicians had sought to put forward briefs to this committee to provide their expertise and opinion on the legislation. When they submitted those briefs to the clerk, they were rejected on the basis that they did not meet a deadline, the deadline being, apparently, midnight of November 12. That was not a deadline that I was aware of. It was not a deadline any of our colleagues, certainly on the Conservative side, were aware of. It was not a deadline the physicians were aware of or that the public was informed about either.
I just very simply, in light of this, think it's important that their voices be heard and that this be remedied by simply allowing those briefs that were rejected to be submitted.
With that I would put forward a motion to make those briefs allowable.
