Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to seek clarification on the scope of this amendment. Standing Order 119 provides that a member, if recognized by the chair, can speak at the committee even if they're not a member of the committee and would not be able to vote.
You indicated that this would apply to in camera meetings, but if we convened as a whole committee, for example, and a motion was moved to move in camera, would this amendment apply such that only members or official substitute members would be able to speak? That would seem to infringe upon Standing Order 119.
