My colleague referred to a different point.
The whips may have agreed, but our committees are masters of their own procedure, and it is extremely common for committees to shape the routine motions in ways that deviate from that, as we have done on many occasions.
If you want to conform to what the whips want, that's certainly an argument, but I don't want anybody at this table to think that just because the whips agreed, it means we can't modify our motions if we see it fit to do so.
