the printing and distribution of amendments may be, it
applies, those requirements apply both in the Committee
of the Whole and in the Convention itself. Actually, as
I think we are all quite aware, the majority of amendments
to be offered by Delegates will be offered in the Committee
of the whole, but, nevertheless, when the Committee on
Style has finished its work and the matter comes back
before the Convention for second reading, again amendments
will be in order. So whatever the rules or requirements
with respect to the printing and distribution of amendments
we will come to those in a minute, obviously they should
be uniform in both instances.
The second amendment we propose is some liberali-
zation of matters that can be taken up in the Committee
of the whole. On Page 3 of our report we have two proposed
changes regarding matters in the Committee of the Whole.
We propose first to prohibit laying the question on the
table in the Committee of the Whole. The matter is unclear
now under the present rule. On the other hand, the
rule regarding the Committee of the Whole makes it perfectly
clear that you cannot move the previous question. |
