This is a custom. This way to proceed is not related to the criteria; it has to do with the committee's customs. Correct?

I think as well there's probably some sufficient difference between the actual wording—and I know where you're coming from—of the motion of which you speak and the wording and the requirements of this. There's a point where it diverges from exactly what the motion was, and I think this diverges sufficiently from the motion that it makes it different in its requirements.
Committee Researcher
I don't have to make the analysis on both for that. I followed the practice not to consider bills against motions, but I could do that if you want.
