I think I can deal with this matter at once.
The notice of motion given by the hon. member for Ottawa—Vanier is merely a notice, it is not a motion moved in the House. Should the hon. member for Ottawa—Vanier choose to move this motion at some time, the Chair will rule on the point of order raised by the hon. member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast. But in my view it is premature in the sense that the notice that has been given is merely a notice and has no procedural value except to constitute a notice should it be subsequently moved.
The hon. member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, of all people, is thoroughly familiar with the Order Paper. He knows there are hundreds of motions for concurrence in various committee reports on the Notice Paper at the moment. They have never been moved and I suspect a good number of them never will be. Sometimes there are 10 for one committee report and only one could be moved, yet the others all sit there and languish. This one will sit there and languish until it is moved and if it is moved, I will rule on the point of order raised by the hon. member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast and we will deal with the matter, but until that time we will treat it as an academic exercise.
