Mr. Anthony Housefather (Mount Royal, Lib.): Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hopefully, the sound is working. I tried to put the microphone in a different place that wasn't as obtrusive. Is it okay, Tom? Thank you. Mr. Chair, I'd like to move the following, on orders of reference from the House respecting bills: That, in relation to Orders of Reference from the House respecting Bills, (a) the clerk of the committee shall, upon the committee receiving such an Order of Reference, write to each Member who is not a member of a caucus represented on the committee to invite those Members to file with the clerk of the committee, in both official languages, any amendments to the Bill, which is the subject of the said Order, which they would suggest that the committee consider; (b) suggested amendments filed, pursuant to paragraph (a), at least 48 hours prior to the start of clause-by-clause consideration of the Bill to which the amendments relate shall be deemed to be proposed during the said consideration, provided that the Committee may, by motion, vary this deadline in respect of a given Bill; and (c) during the clause-by-clause consideration of a Bill, the Chair shall allow a Member who filed suggested amendments, pursuant to paragraph (a), an opportunity to make brief representations in support of them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
