All in favour of the motion to stand this and carry it on at a future meeting?
All against?
(Motion negatived)
We will now move to the motion.
My understanding is that this motion allows you, or any independent member, to make written submissions to any committee, defend them, and then propose amendments. You cannot do this now. It may restrict you in some ways, but it gives you a whole lot more open ability to speak your mind. Many people say that members of Parliament do their best work at committee.
