Your comment is not a point of order.
I was the one who decided that if you want to make a motion, you should do it according to the rules of the committee, that is by giving 48 hours' notice. That is my opinion.
Even if my decision were challenged, the fact remains that, given the way this committee usually operates, a request for a witness takes at least 24 hours. Tomorrow is Thursday, and I think committee members should be given until Friday to submit lists of witnesses. When we reconvene—and this is the understanding that we came to when we met to discuss our program until the end of the session—bills will have priority over other committee projects.
This is not a debate. We only have 45 minutes with the department officials. If we don't finish, we're going to have them come back tomorrow--if that's what you want me to do.
