I have a final question, and it might be the clerk who will answer this.
Since the House committees are the masters of their own destiny, would this possibly be ultra vires and beyond the ability to legislate because it's a mandatory obligation on the committee?
I'm curious, and maybe the clerk can answer that. But certainly we are masters of our own destinies. That's my understanding of a committee. If we do impose this upon ourselves in future committees, is that not acting beyond our actual jurisdiction and ability to legislate?
