The clerk made reference to Marleau and Montpetit. I want to cite from page 851, where it says: “...when a member wishes to raise a new topic for consideration”--I would deem this a new topic, and I think most fair-minded committee members would think it so--“committee members have an opportunity to reflect on it beforehand, rather than having the motion placed before the committee without warning.”
I think that's exactly the situation we're dealing with here.
