I have a point of order.
Given that we have now had the motion defeated, much of the rationale that was provided by the government members for opposing it was that HUMA was currently undertaking a study of the topic at hand. As I had indicated earlier, HUMA is refusing to follow the timeline that it was supposed to follow, which would not allow for this to be brought back to the House and considered by the government in time for anything to be done before the next election. As I said, it's not about words. It's about action.
What I want to understand and get a ruling on is whether this committee can request that another committee do something. In other words, can there be a motion of this committee requesting that HUMA complete its report on this, given it has finished its witness testimony as of Thursday, and bring a report before the House rises for the winter recess? Is that something that's within our power to request?
