Did he as chair put a motion to the committee that a submission be requested from the petitioner or a representative of the petitioner?

SmithMr SPEAKER Link to this

The question is not in order, because such a motion would have been in the confidential proceedings of the meeting. If the member is referring to a notice of motion, she should clarify her question, because that would be in order. I will give Clare Curran that opportunity.

Perhaps I should clarify that question. Such a notice would be lodged with the clerk of the committee.
