Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the clerk be granted authority to produce consolidations of the rules to correct spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors alongside noncontroversial changes within the rules without requiring those changes to be made by way of motion in the House. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
