I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. I don't disagree with the member's right to bring such matters to committee, and I won't say that the issue needs to be dismissed out of hand—I'm not of that view. However, before he—because I get the feeling that he's getting ready to go on.... As a courtesy, I suppose, before he does that, I would ask you to confirm with the clerk whether or not this motion is, in fact, in order, because I don't see—with all due respect to the member—how it fits within the mandate of the committee. I've looked at the mandate letter of the committee closely, and there's no.... I just don't see the fit. I would put that to you, Mr. Chair: to confer with the clerk on it.
