Aha - we have to be careful with 'table' (the verb). In British English, if something's tabled, it's up for discussion immediately; if it's on the agenda, it's
tabled. To 'table a motion' (very strong collocation) is to make sure something's discussed at the earliest opportunity.
But in AmE (correct me if I'm wrong) if something's tabled it's what we in BE would call '
shelved' - reserved for discussion at a later date.
