It does seem there's some confusion. My proposal was to amend the motion by adding the words “and report this motion to the House” to the end of the motion, which, if it's not clear, has the effect of reporting this motion to the House and not simply requesting that a subsequent report be done by another committee. I think this is important because when a committee reports a matter to the House, it provides the House an opportunity to pronounce on that matter.
Clearly, this would be a stronger approach than simply writing a letter to PROC. It would involve writing a letter to PROC but also informing the House that we'd written a letter to PROC, and providing the House with an opportunity to pronounce on the matter.
Another option would be to add a request for a government response, which means effectively that we cannot do concurrence for four months. If people are concerned about it being used as a dilatory tactic.... Simply adding in the request for a government response would address that concern.
I think a letter is not good enough, which is what I said at the beginning. I think informing the House about this is an important step to actually working to get to the bottom of the matter.
