Okay, Mr. Easter.
The chair's been very lenient. As you know, there is no opportunity for debate on the chair's ruling on this. The chair has been considerate to try to allow you to make your point and I appreciate that, but we're getting a little off kilter with that point. The decision was made to accept the clerk's definition of a royal recommendation on the issue and that will now stand.
We will now go to Green Party amendment 12.
Ms. May, I can read the recommendation, should you wish, but I also have a similar recommendation from the legislative clerk as to the admissibility due to a royal recommendation. It is not up for debate. If you would like the chair to read the ruling I would be prepared to do so.
