As a member of this standing committee since 2000, that is for the past seven years, I can say that this is how we proceed and it works well. When a motion is unexpectedly tabled to the committee and the majority of members are opposed to it, it is rejected immediately. That's what we call democracy. I submit that there should be no required notice. Besides, I don't think a motion is necessary.
On November 1st, 2007. See this statement in context.
