Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, it may be worth your while to clarify what the committee is actually....

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, if I could intervene just to clarify—

Government Operations committee  I was asking if Mr. Housefather is effectively moving a subamendment and could I get the text of what he plans to move, or if he is asking for unanimous consent for Mr. Paul-Hus to amend his original amendment. I just want to know what Mr. Housefather—
