The other possibility is that I propose an amendment that combines your amendment and our subamendment. That's another possibility, but we will need to vote on the entire thing. It's a package deal.
What we are suggesting goes along with this committee's direction and traditions. We start with the official opposition, followed by the government, then the third party, then the government. This would preserve the principle that each member of the committee gets a chance to speak.
However, by tradition, opposition members start the first round of questions. It's an important role, especially since we are talking about official languages. It's our duty to keep an eye on the government's actions. And that's why the Standing Committee on Official Languages exists. Reversing the order means that each member of the committee can speak. We are also maintaining the tradition of the opposition's ongoing monitoring of official languages.
