Mr. Chair, can you please quote the rules on this? In the 13 years I've been here, which is just slightly fewer than you've been here, I've never actually seen this applied. For every amendment brought before a committee, a chair could simply say that something about it is imprecise.
We as parliamentarians sit at this table to actually debate such things. I don't want to challenge the chair, because I would like to move ahead constructively on this, but I have to say that as somebody who lives in rural Canada and who spends a lot of his time in outlying areas or in the bush, and as somebody who represents 16,000 people who live on reserve and who have a treaty area, this is not imprecise language to me at all. I know exactly what's being talked about here, notwithstanding that the chair doesn't seem to.
