Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Before I begin my remarks, could you clarify the standing orders or the practices in committees in terms of independent members speaking when they are not moving an amendment? Obviously, during committee time, another member can give his or her time to an independent member. However, we are not at a normal hearing. We are studying legislation.
Could you or the clerk perhaps read the rules in terms of how this goes from now on?
The Green amendments were defeated. We're on a Bloc amendment now. Ms. May had the right to make remarks and ask questions, etc.
Before I go to my intervention, I would like some clarification on how that is intended to proceed.
