Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will ask my questions in French, since we all have access to simultaneous interpretation, if needed.
I would like to come back to your presentation. In the beginning, you said that you felt that the best way to fill the gap was to go directly through the House of Commons or the Senate. Mr. Williamson said that the bill's purpose was to fill the gap.
The two houses currently have a process for expelling a senator or a member. Do you think that using the existing process is a good idea? The same type of process and criteria have to be used when a senator or a member is being expelled. Just because someone has resigned, they are not suddenly entitled to everything they would not have been entitled to had they gone through the aforementioned process.
Do you think the same kind of a system could be used?
