Mr. B. I move to strike out everything after the word "President" and insert "and shall be called upon the request of twenty members."
Mr. C. I raise a point of order against that amendment. It increases the modification of the by-law, by changing "ten" to "twenty," and this is prohibited by R. O. R., page 272.
