I had a point of order concerning what happened a few moments ago.
When you suspended, negotiations were under way, but five members of the committee attending the meeting via the Zoom app were unable to take part. That limits things. The committee should have gone in camera so everyone could participate in the discussion.
Ms. Ashton was in the same position as I was: we were In limbo, even though we could see you gesticulating. Now you're making a proposal, but we didn't take part in the debate. That's really not constructive. We're going backward instead of forward.
I'll stop there, Mr. Chair, but I'd like to bring it to your attention that we may have made a mistake.
