I'm not trying to address the question you've just raised, but I do want to raise a concern. We can't change the criteria. They're laid down under the Standing Orders. But I do think the criteria we face are problematic in that they say, “Bills and motions must not clearly violate the Constitution Acts, 1867 to 1982, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms”.
I think it would actually be more helpful.... Our previous discussion earlier today indicated that we were thinking this way anyway: it's really a question of whether they violate the Constitution in some way that is not fixable. Ultimately, the question of whether it's a clear violation is one that is to be made by the courts, not by us, but on the question of whether the item could be fixable, it is at least contingently something that should be made either by this body, by our parent committee, or by the House--
