On a point of order. I am appealing your decision. Whether or not you decide to reject my motion is not serious. Am I entitled to appeal the decision? I think so. It's up to the clerk to tell us. I had the opportunity of meeting with government officials today, and I was not told that my amendments were going to be set aside and that they were not in order.
I am disappointed. I had looked into this matter, Mr. Chairman. I had asked that this amendment be verified to ascertain whether or not it was in order. I had asked the legislative director to do this. I have no difficulty accepting the fact that my motion may be defeated. I want to know whether or not I am entitled to appeal your decision. I would like the clerk to tell me if I have the right to do this. There will be no hard feelings. If the motion is defeated, it isn't any more serious than that. If I can't, I can't.
