The previous amendment would have led indirectly to a report from the committee, whereas my amendment gives members the chance to discuss what they would like to do after hearing the testimony. We can't assume that we'll have any recommendations to make or any report to submit to the House. This doesn't mean that we won't have any either.
The wording of the current motion also assumes that the study would be mostly completed after one meeting, whereas our amendment would give us the option of holding further meetings if we deem it necessary, either this fall or at another time. This gives the committee more flexibility to decide what it wants to do after hearing the testimony, while providing the same options as the Conservative motion to make recommendations and report back to the House.
