Mr. Chairman, I am speaking to you. The first motion that we received reads as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Official Languages recommend that the government increase the Official Languages Support Fund from $24 million annually to $42 million annually and ensure stable funding for organizations affected by this funding in order to support the vitality of francophone communities outside Quebec in the short-, medium- and long-term and that the Chair of the Committee report the adoption of this motion to the House of Commons as soon as possible.
It's the substance of the motion. The "Fund" does not exist. It's a bottomless pit. Then, a second motion was made, and I am beginning to understand. But the first motion is not substantive. I'm sorry, but you cannot amend a motion that is not substantive. That's the rule.
