Mr. Chair, I recognize that you have ruled, but as you'll recall, the wording of the motion this committee passed, which requires me to be here to present my amendments, and forgoes the right I otherwise would have to present at report stage, included that I have the right to speak to my amendments, even briefly.
I didn't know that when you didn't want to hear from me in the rubric of Mr. Dubé's amendments that I'd be foreclosed to speak to them at all.
I really would request a short opportunity to speak to all of my amendments. I'm prepared to see our rules more flexibly and not stick to the wording of the motion this committee passed, that I have a right to speak to each one of my amendments, PV-8 to PV-12, PV-15 to PV-22, and PV-24 to PV-26, separately. I am prepared to speak to them all at once in the interest of letting the committee move ahead.
