I think there is a concern with respect to when the clerk gets the motions as opposed to when they are sent. That might be somewhat problematic, but the more egregious concern is that it removes the question of motions that relate directly to the business under consideration of the committee. We've seen those used in the past, and they've certainly been strongly urged. I see no reason why we would want to move away from that. I would strongly urge that we retain the status quo in terms of this particular proposal by Mr. Carrie.
