We could debate this motion and pass it, but it would only hold for this committee. We cannot set any intent for other committees, which may change and may have to set their own decisions and their own orders of business. Basically we can speak to this, and if we are still the same committee by December 5 and it is passed, it may happen. If it's not, then it's moot. But the point is that this cannot hold for all standing committees on the status of women.
On December 10th, 2009. See this statement in context.
