I have never been part of a committee that has discussed a report in public. The rule--and you can check with the clerk.... Simply calling this meeting as a public meeting, I think, was a violation of the rules.
Second, to request a vote in public.... As you see, the members of this committee, of the three opposition parties, only became aware that the meeting was in fact in public when I commented on the issue of a recorded vote being raised and said that you don't have a recorded vote in camera. Then you informed the committee that in fact you had made the decision and that the notice did not say that it was in camera.
