The fact that the committee came to the House and asked for it I thought was the thing that determined it, from my perspective. The committee members felt their privileges had been breached by this, and they reported it to the House. I agreed that they appeared to have a valid question of privilege as a committee, from that perspective. Rather than have them do the study on it, because it's not technically their jurisdiction, it was sent here via the motion that was adopted by the House.
