Is Parliamentary Inquiry amendable?

In parliamentary procedure, a Parliamentary Inquiry is a tool used by a member to seek information about the rules and procedures of the meeting. It is a request for clarification or guidance on how to proceed and does not propose any substantive changes or actions to be taken.

The essence of a Parliamentary Inquiry is that it is fundamentally not amendable because it simply seeks to clarify the application of rules rather than propose modifications to them. It is intended to facilitate understanding of the procedure rather than creating or altering the business being conducted in the meeting. Since the inquiry is focused on obtaining information, it does not lend itself to amendments as there is nothing to change or modify.

This distinction is important in maintaining the order and efficiency of meetings, allowing members to receive necessary information while keeping discussions and actions on track. The inability to amend a Parliamentary Inquiry reflects its function as a procedural query rather than a motion that has substantive content subject to amendment.
