I think what the member is referring to is the section in chapter 20 in O'Brien and Bosc that deals with House of Commons procedure and practice. It says a committee cannot make a decision or vote unless there is quorum when debate on a motion ends or when a non-debatable motion is moved. The chair reads the motion and asks the committee members if they agree.
However, there is a footnote that the clerks have pointed out to me. It says that the atmosphere in which committee meetings are conducted is less formal than in the House and motions are sometimes carried without being read by the chair. The clerks are advising me that it is not incumbent upon the chair to read the motions.
The way I have been proceeding for the last five hours is an appropriate way for the chair to read it. That's my decision on your point of order.
