Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have been participating in committee meetings since 2015, and we have proposed amendments, some of which are significant. However, overruling the chair's decision to accept an amendment to a motion means that today we are dealing with a motion that can no longer be amended. I feel that my rights have been violated.
The committee has made a recommendation to find a solution that will allow us to reach agreement on the amendment to the original motion. But now the opposition, which holds the balance of power, is taking away our right to speak.
That's politics, right Mr. Albas?
If necessary, the amendment will be modified. I accept Mr. Albas's proposal that some changes need to be made. I am prepared to make changes and discuss them, but I need to consult with my colleagues to determine what should be changed in this amendment.
With regard to everything that was withdrawn earlier, I believe it was important to do so. Now, if we want to reach a compromise, I need to consult with my colleagues. I therefore request a few minutes' break to review the amendment and come up with a proposal.
