Mr. Speaker, I absolutely agree with the observations made by my colleague. That is why, historically, changes to the Standing Orders have gone before a parliamentary committee for full examination.
Many questions have been raised in the debate today and many more questions will be raised both pro and con because this debate is far from over.
Is it appropriate to make a fundamental change to a rule that guides the conduct of members of this place after one day of debate without hearing from expert witnesses, without hearing from members of the Canadian Bar Association, as my colleague said? I would argue absolutely not. This issue takes much more time and a much more fulsome and considered debate than one day.
