I wonder whether I could help the Committee by reading Standing Order 28(1). It says: If Mr. Speaker, or the chairman, shall be of opinion that a dilatory motion is an abuse of the rules of the House, he may forthwith put the question thereupon from the chair, or he may decline to propose the question there-upon to the House or the committee. I am within my rights in declining to put the Question to the Committee and I shall not budge from it now.
