The issue here, I gather, is that we're talking about the standing committee as a whole. The motion is fine with me, but maybe all we need to say is, “the standing committee members” or “the committee members”, as Madam Deschamps has said, rather than the “committee”. Otherwise it's the standing committee as a whole that is being asked. The other way, it's “standing committee members”, and then it's up to each party to decide who goes. It's little bit more nuanced.
