Motions, you are correct, Ms. Guergis, are not supposed to be argumentative. What the committee should be speaking to right now is what is in bold at the bottom of the motion, which is the actual motion.
The preamble--in other words, the sentences that begin with “whereas”--becomes part of the report based on this motion. So typically, in the past, because it was a comment made by one of the members in a previous motion to include the preamble in the motion, I've been consistent with all the members. But procedurally speaking, the preamble--the “whereases”--should not be included in the motion.
