Mr. Chair, in the interest of fairness, I'm not sure we followed proper protocol. It's not your fault; we were very anxious to move on to the government amendment.
Mr. Laframboise did have the right to request an appeal of your decision. I think it's fair for him to continue to have that right, and I'm not sure it should require unanimity at this table. It would be unfair to the process. Again, it's no reflection on you, Mr. Chair; it's no reflection on anyone at this committee. Let's be fair about this and deal with the merits of it.
My second point is that if we're going to deal with it, I want to make sure that the document that was submitted to you here in French is read verbatim into the record so that I can hear the translation of our translators and have it on the record.
