By convening the committee almost simultaneously with His Honour the Speaker rising on adjournment in the Senate, before our members or a number of members could make it to the committee room, the chairman of the committee denied the Conservative members of the committee an opportunity to express their views during clause-by-clause consideration, denied them the opportunity to move amendments and denied them the opportunity to vote on individual clauses of Bill C-288.
En ouvrant la seance du comite presque au moment ou Son ´ ´ ` Honneur le President quittait le Senat apres l’ajournement et avant ´ ´ ` ´ ´ que nos senateurs ou un certain nombre de senateurs puissent ´ ´ ´ arriver dans la salle, le president du comite a prive les membres ´ ´ conservateurs du comite de la possibilite d’exprimer leur point de ´ ´ vue au cours de l’etude article par article, les a prives de l’occasion ´ de proposer des amendements et leur a enleve´ la possibilite de voter sur les articles du projet de loi C-288.
