Mr. Chairman, I challenged your decision, not for personal reasons, but simply to allow us to debate this.
I had serious doubts that your ruling was the correct one. After giving this some thought, we think the amendment is in order. So, I didn't understand why you thought it was not, particularly since there had been no debate.
However, we will be voting against it. I am not saying we will support it. We will vote against all the amendments that come forward today. There is no doubt about that; I have looked at all of them and we will be voting against them all.
That said, we were of the view that they were within the scope of the bill. This is a democratic institution, and people have a right to present their amendments and have them debated. However, I can assure you we will be voting against.
