As a fellow chair, I would like clarification on the reasoning of Mr. Lukiwski. He seems to have a lot to say about the rules of order as they pertain to parliamentary committees, but I've always been under the understanding that when someone is subbed in properly with a substitution sheet, etc., as long as that person has backed away from the table, they are allowed to continue to be in the room.
Do you conduct your committee differently at procedure and House affairs?
I wonder if the clerk would clarify that for me for future reference, because I intend to speak on this motion. I'm on the list, and hope springs eternal that somewhere before dawn I will get an opportunity to speak on this motion. I need to know these rules too as we substitute further for personal breaks, etc.
