Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to put on record my habitual objection to the process that this committee and every other committee adopted of forcing me to come to committee with amendments, rather than enjoying the rights I would have otherwise to present such amendments at report stage, because of the peculiarities of the motion that was originally drafted by the Harper PMO. Strangely, the same wording was applied in the next Parliament by the new PMO.
In any case, my motion has been deemed moved before I got here because I don't have any powers on this committee other than to appear with my amendments per your request.
Thank you.
