I have a point of clarification, Chair.

If we vote this motion down but then move another motion, I'm not clear how to do this technically. If we vote it down, is something else out of order? We could just vote this down and start something new. That's the correct way to do this. I'm not sure this is amendable. I think we probably need to have a discussion about crafting a motion that gets to the point that we're talking about here.

To that end, it probably makes sense to move in camera and hash out the exact text. I don't think we're going to disagree in the end. We have a number of motions that are similar. I say we should go in camera and hash it out and get it done.

So we will suspend for a few moments while we do the technical work.

Thank you.
