At the other committee I'm on, that same clause has another piece in it about 4 p.m. Let's say a motion is put forward on Friday night at 6 o'clock, then 48 hours only takes us to Sunday evening. We might want to put “wherever possible by 4 p.m. of the business day”.
It says “Motions that are received by close of business (4 p.m.) shall be distributed the same day”. That's slightly different. I'm just concerned about a Friday evening situation.
