Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Correct me if I am wrong, but according to what Randy is saying, if we withdraw the words “for any substantive motion to be considered by the Committee, unless the substantive motion relates directly to business then under consideration”, we can use the substantive motion only if we want to raise another topic that is not currently being discussed then and there, or we deal with the motion. Urgent situations can occur during which we need to table a motion being discussed.
My understanding is that if we're taking this out, a member can table a motion on a subject being discussed with 48 hours' notice. Right now, if the matter relates to the subject being discussed, a 48-hour notice is not required to introduce an amendment or motion. Just correct me if I have misinterpreted. If we amend the motion as Randy suggests, we run the risk of extending the timeframe in which decisions are made.
