Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Perhaps that could have been decided in advance. We could call it a minor error. It's normal for a photographer to follow a member since he needs to take his picture. That's been done in the past. That's the way it is in all political parties. It happens often. Personally, I once had a Radio-Canada photographer follow me for a week. He followed me into committee meetings and only took pictures. It's always been that way. To my knowledge, it hasn't been prohibited.
I just wanted to state my opinion. On another day, that could happen to one of you: a newspaper or magazine photographer might want to follow you. I know there are number of new members around this table who don't know that this has happened in the past. It is normal for citizens to see the work that politicians do; that's part of a healthy democracy. That's the brief comment I wanted to make. I'm in favour of this practice, regardless of who is subjected to it.
