With the help of our great clerk here, I can answer that question for you.
Mr. Byrne, I'll read Standing Order 73(1) out to you:
Immediately after the reading of the Order of the Day for the second reading of any government bill, a Minister of the Crown may, after notifying representatives of the opposition parties, propose a motion that the said bill be forthwith referred to a standing, special or legislative committee. The Speaker shall immediately propose the question to the House and proceedings thereon shall be subject to the following conditions
As the clerk has informed me, this is saying that only the minister can make the indication of the bill going to a committee before second reading, but there's nothing to stop the committee from asking the minister to consider it. That's why the motion is read the way it is. We can't tell the minister to do it; we can only ask him to consider it.
