Mr. Chairman, my point of order was going to be that the presenter's version of the motion was totally different but since you recognized him officially to read it into the record, the chair has not ruled on this particular motion.

The Chair Brian Lewis

The motion we have in front of us is the one that was, in fact, translated and we have it in front of us to vote on. Any other comments that have been made, have been clarified in the motion you see in front of you. So, to your point of order, Mr. Zoe, this is the motion we will be dealing with in committee of the whole, as it was read into the record. You don't have a point of order because we know what the motion is. We didn't know until it was translated and made available to us. This is what we have in front of us now. That is my ruling.

The motion is in order. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Chairman, having heard your ruling, which I respect, I was going to ask since a question was on the floor and was about to be put, whether the first question should not be put before the second motion was ruled on. That was my point of order.

Mr. Chairman, I wonder if it would be in order to move deferral of this clause until the consequential amendments are brought in to forbid inmates from running for election? Would it be in order to move deferral of this clause?
