I think Mr. Norlock makes a valid point, Mr. Chairman. I really am looking for some clarification on the impact of the motion. It's still up in the air whether an independent member can speak to each and every amendment before committee.
Could the promoter of this amendment tell me what the net effect of this motion would be if an independent member were to forgo the right to file amendments on business before this committee? If they haven't done that, does that deny them the right to put amendments in the House of Commons?
