I understand that we are debating a motion. My point of order deals with procedure.
There was an informal meeting of our committee's subcommittee on agenda and procedure and there was consensus on some points. Let me turn to the members, specifically Mr. Beaulieu, to see whether there might be a way to allow the Chair to report on that informal meeting and to see whether any of the points on which we agreed would also be agreeable to all members. Then we would perhaps be able to debate the motions that seem more contentious, while clearly respecting each member's rights to introduce motions. It might allow the committee to move forward with the issues on which we think there may be points of consensus.
Mr. Chair, with the members' permission, could you inform all members of the suggestions that were made? I go back to what Ms. Lambropoulos in Ottawa—and good afternoon to her—was saying. The committee is sovereign, and the subcommittee, in seeking consensus or
In other words, could we establish the issues on which there is consensus, and then afterwards, spend more time on those that are more contentious?
Thank you.
