I am looking at this and I am wondering what the problem is. You are trying to undermine something that has already taken place in the House. I am just saying that this should go to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, because it is too big. We might then say that we have not looked at it from such and such an angle. We should study this further, take a short break to consult with our party and ask ourselves whether we are headed in the right direction, if that is what we want.
Perhaps the government really does not care about the Standing Committee on Official Languages; perhaps they think it is not very important. However, it could happen in the Standing Committee on Finance. If the finance committee thinks it has authority, it is not true. An independent member could go to one of the committee's meetings and annoy everyone by introducing 1,500 amendments. The member would take their time to read all the amendments and make their arguments, and no one could stop them.
