In the House you have more opportunity to actually speak, and you're not as constrained. I would go back to the point, Peter, that this is not about and it shouldn't be about the rights of parties but the rights of members by way of, as you pointed out, this vague language of “to make brief representations”, but also noting that once you've brought them forward to committee, you're no longer able to bring them to the House.
Ce point porte atteinte aux droits des députés, par le biais, comme vous l’avez mentionné, d’un libellé vague, à savoir « de faire de brèves observations », mais il importe aussi de dire que si vous proposez des amendements au comité, vous perdez le droit de le faire à la Chambre.
