That's a very good question. We did raise it. In fact the notices of motions from members usually include some editorial preamble and then the actual motion.
If you look at Mr. Martin's motion, the actual amendment being proposed is to section 3(3). It starts at the words “in section 3(3)” and goes to the very end. That's the actual motion for the House. But in the preamble, it's that our committee report to the House that the conflict of interest code be amended. The recommendation specifically starts with the word “in”.
On your question about whether we can change the Standing Orders, in terms of having a vote here and reporting to the House, the answer is no. There could be a concurrence motion moved in the House. There could be a debate in the House and a vote in the House. But as you know, there are long-standing practices. Matters of amendments to the Standing Orders, in our normal practice, are through the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs for appropriate review, or by special committee established by the House.
