Actually, the first thing I would like to clarify with you is whether Ms. Lambropoulos is hereby giving notice of her motion to the committee today or whether she is moving it for immediate debate by the committee. If it is an oral notice to be discussed later, that is fine. If she is moving the motion to open debate immediately, I will read again what the routine motion you just passed says about notices of motion:
That a forty-eight (48) hours notice, interpreted as two (2) nights, shall be required for any substantive motion to be considered by the Committee, unless the substantive motion relates directly to business then under consideration...
It is up to the chair to define what constitutes a motion not directly related to business currently under consideration by the committee. Right now, the committee seems to be considering what is referred to as “committee business”. It is therefore up to the chair to judge whether or not the matter of future business is directly related and whether or not it can be debated.
However, before the chair makes that decision, we should check with Ms. Lambropoulos to see whether she intended to give notice of her motion or to move it for immediate debate.
