The Speaker will not rule on this matter until the bill is returned to the House. The Speaker regards what happens in committee to be matters for the committee to determine. Once the bill is complete and we report it back to the House, if there are concerns about scope then, those need to be raised with the Speaker in the House and the Speaker would deal with them appropriately.
What “appropriately” means is that, if he feels at that time that there were aspects we passed that were, in his view, out of scope, I believe he would back out those provisions. He might require them to be voted on explicitly at report stage.
Mr. Julian, go ahead.
