Mr. Speaker, I understand the spirit and the intent of the amendment, although I think the Member has it completely wrong. It’s about the reflection of the impacts it has on this change and as well as the reflection of how it will change going forward.
The issue is on-line petitions. Will it increase democratic process? Will it modernize our process? That’s what it’s all focused in on. I’m not sure where the Member for Frame Lake gets some idea that this is a blank cheque for travel. But I’ve heard more creative things since I’ve been here in the last six years. I can certainly try to imagine how she sees that, although I find it very difficult. But I will accept that if this is the will of the House, it still speaks to the fact that this motion, in my view, is only about research and consideration of this. And of course, ultimately, if it was to be supported by the Rules committee, it would still require the adoption of this House anyway.
So in my humble opinion, I don’t think this deafens the motion, but it certainly takes away from it in a small way.
