The motion “That the Bill be referred to a Joint Committee of the House without the concurrence of the other House” cannot be made while introducing an ordinary Bill in the Parliament.

– After a Bill is introduced, the member in charge can move one of several motions: to take it into consideration, to refer it to a Select Committee of that House, to refer it to a Joint Committee of both Houses, or to circulate it for public opinion.
– Referring a Bill to a Select Committee (C) is a motion confined to the House where the Bill is being considered.
– Referring a Bill to a Joint Committee (D) involves members from *both* Houses. This requires the approval (concurrence) of the other House. Therefore, a motion to refer a Bill to a Joint Committee cannot be made unilaterally “without the concurrence of the other House”.
– Taking the Bill into consideration (A) and circulating it for public opinion (B) are standard motions possible after introduction.

If the motion is to refer the Bill to a Joint Committee, the House where the motion is moved passes a resolution recommending to the other House that the Bill be referred to a Joint Committee and naming the members from its own House to serve on the committee. The other House then has to concur with this recommendation and appoint its own members to the Joint Committee.
