Could the legislative clerk clarify to the committee how this committee, under Standing Order 97.1, would report to the House a report “not to proceed further with the bill, and giving the reasons therefor”? Standing Order 97.1 says that the committee must “either report the bill to the House”, amended or unamended, or report to the House “a recommendation not to proceed further with the bill, and giving the reasons therefor”. What is the procedure by which to accomplish that second option under Standing Order 97.1?
