Has the committee considered reporting the bill back to the House without amendment and without considering the submissions—

SmithMr SPEAKER Link to this

That is not a matter for the chair to answer in the House.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I checked Speakers’ Rulings and I refer you to Speakers’ ruling 149/4, which says the chairperson can be questioned on matters that relate to the process or procedure to be followed by the committee, such as the reporting back time to the House for bills. That is what my question related to.

SmithMr SPEAKER Link to this

Indeed the member can ask a question about when the bill might be reported back to the House, but not about whether the committee may make decisions about that. That was the problem with the member’s supplementary question.
