Just to clarify, my understanding is that a motion to suspend is debatable. A motion to adjourn is not. Because the motion was to suspend, the committee has the right to debate it.
I was going to clarify about requests for documents. It's on page 978 in chapter 20 on committees. It says, and this is about committees requesting papers:
[I]t can use its power to order the production of papers by passing a motion to that effect. The motion usually orders the person to whom it is directed to provide the committee with the papers in question by a particular date or deadline.
The Standing Orders do not delimit the power to order the production of papers and records. The result is a broad, absolute power that on the surface appears to be without restriction.
This is on page 979:
No statute or practice diminishes the fullness of that power rooted in House privileges unless there is an explicit legal provision to that effect, or unless the House adopts a specific resolution limiting the power. The House has never set a limit on its power to order the production of papers and records. However, it may not be appropriate to insist on the production of papers and records in all cases.
Mr. Angus, because I interrupted your comments, I'll go back to you before I go to Mr. Del Mastro.
