Mr. Speaker, I would never question the Chair's good faith or way of working, but we can still assume that his decision will have consequences.
From what I understand, the parties may not share the same opinion on two categories of amendments. The parties do not seem to have the same opinion on the number of days of continuous residence in Canada as on the other qualification criteria, including the citizenship test, the security assessment, the language test, and so on. Grouping them together could force some members to unwillingly vote against amendments they support.
