This is the final part as far as the presentation goes this morning.
Moving forward now, the committee has an order of reference from the House to investigate this privilege matter. When the committee does so, it approaches it in the same way as it does any other study that it may choose to undertake. It may look at its schedule and decide what priority to assign to this matter, how many meetings it wishes to devote to it, if it wishes to call witnesses, and which witnesses they should be. The members have heard what was done in past similar cases, and it's open to the committee to do likewise or to do it differently.
If the committee is going to report to the House on the matter, it can indicate whether or not it believes that a breach of privilege has occurred. The report can include recommendations or not. It's important to note that the committee itself does not have any power to punish. Only the House can do this.
The report, like any other committee report, may have dissenting or supplementary opinions appended to it. The report may be sufficient to put an end to the matter, and no further action may be recommended to the House by the committee. On the other hand, the committee may recommend that the Speaker take some action or that some administrative action be taken.
Finally, as with other committee reports, it's open to any member of the House to move a motion of concurrence in the committee report.
That's about all I have.
