Thank you for your point of order.
I have not made a ruling on what Mr. Genuis has brought forward at this point.
Since we're having this important discussion, I'm going to provide some additional context and information. I would like all members to refer to page 1026 of the third edition:
The Standing Orders provide that any Member, whether affiliated with a political party or sitting as an independent, may take part in public proceedings of any committee of which he or she is not a member, unless the House or the committee in question orders otherwise. The Standing Orders specifically exclude a non-member from voting, moving motions or being counted for purposes of a quorum.
I hope that provides additional context to all members on what may have transpired previously and where we're at today. Once again, I will refer all members to page 1026 of the third edition.
