The amendment is in order, however, it is my duty to inform the hon. member that pursuant to Standing Order 85, an amendment to an opposition motion may be moved only with the consent of the sponsor of the motion.
In the absence of the mover of the motion, I recognize the hon. House leader for the official opposition. I see the member shaking his head.
Since the sponsor of the motion is not present in the House to give his consent and the official opposition does not give its consent, the amendment cannot be moved at this time.
Questions and comments, the hon. member for Langley.
