I would only say again, this is not an attempt to in any way delay anything. It's just trying to be consistent, and being more concise as to how one measures that 48 hours so that there isn't discretion given in terms of what meets the rule. It either does or it doesn't. And if it doesn't meet that next meeting, then it goes to the meeting following.
I agree with Madam Minna with regard to how it's distributed. I think we'd all agree that we could put, “when it's electronically distributed”, because again, we know--as the example was given here--if it's submitted to the clerk in both official languages and can be sent out right away, the clock starts running then. But if it needs to be translated and you have some work to do before it can get running....
And remember, this is just a notice of motion. Once these are submitted, they will appear on the agenda. Those are the standing orders. That's the normal course. But this makes it fair for all parties. Everyone lives by the same rules, and we know what the rules are.
Again, that's why I support the proposal.
