Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm not really up to speed yet on committee procedure. If I understood what the clerk said correctly, if Mr. Cullen had left two spaces after his preamble, we could have accepted his motion, because then the preamble would have been separate.
So we are using reasons having to do with the layout of the text and typographical considerations in order to disallow a motion or rule it out of order. I think that if the people at this table wanted to act in good faith, we could agree to say that the important thing is to call for the reinstatement of the EnerGuide Program or the WPPI Program.
I would like the clerk to provide me with some information about procedure should I decide to table a motion. If a member of Parliament gives you a motion almost 7 days ahead of time, is it not up to you to find out immediately whether or not the motion is in order, so that the member can amend it or find out more about the situation?
