I am just clarifying that notices of motion in the middle of a debate on a motion are appropriate. Just give me one moment to clarify this. Then I have two speakers.
I am interpreting this standing order as saying very clearly that unless the notice of motion relates directly to the business at hand, the normal rules of the committee would be required in following the submission of a notice of motion. The clerk has provided me with that information.
I believe that it's inappropriate to comment on a notice of motion that's not been made in the debate where we instead of...as a backdoor way of changing the debate.... That would be my ruling: that, absolutely, people can comment on anything they want to in a debate as long as it's relevant to the matter at hand. We have the matter at hand that we proceed to committee business, which was given to all the members, and that we would continue to do the work of the committee, as the committee had already decided that we would do. I would rule that commenting on a notice of motion that has not been made is not part of the business. It would be my ruling.
I see that many people have their hands up.
