Mr. Chair, as a legislative clerk, may I clarify something?
A dissenting or supplementary report can be submitted only if it relates to a substantive report. Such a report cannot be submitted in connection with a bill, unless the committee conducts an independent study that does not pertain to the bill directly. For example, today, the committee is proceeding with clause-by-clause consideration, and a dissenting or supplementary opinion cannot be submitted in that context.
