The result of a Statement is not a debate in the House. However, a Motion is the House seeking to give a resolution. This is why Bills are called ‘Motions.’ When we discuss a Motion, the House passes a resolution on an issue and the Executive must implement that. Is there any harm in pursuing both apart from the issues of efficiency? We might want to make a resolution on a matter – this is why you can amend a Motion, but not a Statement. A Statement is just to establish the status. If anything, the response on the Statement might strengthen what this House resolves or passes as a resolution with respect to sports. That clarity is important so that Members do not think you cannot do both on the same issue."}
