Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to take a leap of faith and assume that the same rationale that was used by you, Mr. Chair, to rule Monsieur Laframboise's amendment out of order may be applied to subsequent amendments in this package of amendments dealing with noise.
Picking up on Mr. Hubbard's comments, it may be that I have the rules wrong, but I assume there's a prima facie understanding that when this goes through the drafting process of the legislative clerk of the House of Commons, who has drafted, after all, all these amendments, these amendments would at least pass the first hoop of legal opinion and legal opprobrium.
Secondly, I don't know what it is that Mr. Laframboise would have to have done to satisfy the committee. I read this in French, and I understand that the person writing this memo is Mr. Francis DesCôteaux, who is an employee of the House of Commons, not an employee of any particular member of Parliament—
