On No. 16, the motion on the report of the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport under Standing Order 114, my party does not have a member on the committee and the report is not online this morning in order for us to know exactly what we are doing. This is a European procedure. If a number of national parliaments agree to it, it can actually block a regulation. It is a rather important device. I ask that the reports be circulated well in advance of being tabled before the House.
