I'm not through with my point of order, Mr. Chair. I ask the clerk. Is the amendment the direct negative of the main motion? Would it produce the same result as the defeat of the main motion? If this amendment goes through, will we still need to vote on the main motion?
In the main motion, Ms. Redman suggests that the standing orders become permanent; the amendment goes completely in the opposite direction. Ms. Redman, in her main proposal, asks that the adoption of this motion be immediately reported to the House, while the amendment says that all this will be carried over for further discussion. So, is the amendment the direct negative of the main motion? Would it produce the same result as the defeat of the main motion?
