The only addition that I experienced through the last five years is with regard to some people's definition of when the members should be notified and when the clock starts and so on, so I'd like to make one small amendment here to the last paragraph in the last sentence. It says:
the notice of motion will be filed with the Clerk of the Committee and distributed....
I'd like to add “on the same day the motion is received”
to members in both official languages.
That is assuming it is received in both official languages, of course, because that is when the clock starts.
If I happen to bring in a motion on Friday at 3:40, I'd like the clock to start that day. I think we should be notified that day that the motion has been received in both official languages in a legal.... My issue is that come Monday, if I've had a motion, some people might say, “We got it late in the day, so we didn't notify anybody until today, so the clock didn't start until that timeframe.” I'd like the clock to start the day the thing is received.
