Certainly, Mr. Chair. I can even read it, if you like.
I am talking about page 1045, under the title “Orders of Reference, Instructions and the Standing Orders of the House of Commons”:
Orders of reference and instructions issued by the House to parliamentary committees are a vital source of procedural rules for committees. They provide a framework for committee proceedings. Orders of reference can be adopted for a specific purpose [...]
To my knowledge, this has not been done. I will continue:
[...]—in which case they are recorded in the Journals—or consolidated in the Standing Orders.
This implies that the House Standing Orders apply to committees.
Mr. Chair, I could go on like this for a long time—there are pages and pages. However, I don't want to slow down the committee's work needlessly.
I request that you read the provisions and amendments we are being asked to dispose of.
