Prior to working on this motion I had asked for legal counsel from the House of Commons. I had been under the impression that this particular motion was in order; however, Mr. Williams has certain concerns. I'd be willing to entertain a friendly amendment that would state that should this motion pass, we will act on it only upon verification from House of Commons legal counsel that it is within our authority to make this sort of request.
