I appreciate what the member is saying, although it does create problems when parliamentary secretaries roll in here with marching orders from on high. Having said that, I appreciate that there is a question of where it goes, but I don't think it is out of order for us to consider it, given that we are one of the three committees mandated to interact with the budget officer. As I understand it--and I stand to be corrected--we are one of three committees that have the right to request information and request reports, so I don't think it's out of order.
I'll speak to why the motion is there, but on the point of as to whether it's out of order, Chair, I don't see anything out of order with the motion, particularly with the way it is worded.
