Thank you, Speaker. This is a serious matter. Private Members' Business under previous parliaments would not have been voted on. There were debates but then they were not determined. Because we are now dealing with outcomes and votes, it is appropriate that members, including the mover of the original motion, who I understand is the member for Dickson, have an opportunity to see amendments that are for him. I point out to the Manager of Opposition Business that I expect this to be a principle that is applied across the board because I do think this is an important principle.
