Procedure and House Affairs committee  I used to be a deputy speaker, and tasks aren't all that onerous. You're doing a lot of the grunt work for the Speaker. On the big stuff, the Speaker calls the shots, as they should. You said that in this chamber, the Deputy Speaker is treated like the Speaker, and is the main official.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. The terminology is interesting. The guillotining and time allocation remind me of when I was much younger, in the 1970s, with the auto workers. We called it guided democracy. Everybody has a term for the hand on the throat. The reason I raise this is that in my experience, governments will sometimes want to guillotine a bill because of the debate that's happening in the House, and the media attention, but at the end of the day, it's usually because of time management.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Great, thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I appreciate that. Thank you for doing that so quickly. I have one follow-up. I don't know a lot about these things, but that seems to be an awful lot of money to develop a website.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, I think I would like to have a little further detail, if you would, just because the jump is so significant. I really didn't hear a fulsome enough answer to satisfy my curiosity. If you could do some more follow-up on detail, I would appreciate that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, again, for getting it so quickly. Thank you very much, Chair.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Oh, that does make a big difference.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That would suggest we're doing something hugely different for a Canada Day than we have in the past; otherwise, it would have been built into your base, as such, for that line item. I'll accept that you don't have the exact details here, although I'm surprised you weren't prepared to answer questions like this, given that it's kind of obvious.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Chair, in fairness, the rest of my time on the labour relations would best be done in camera. I thank you, and I thank the Speaker.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  What's a normal...? Can you give us a ballpark figure?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We need a number. Chair, we need a number.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That sounds good.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They'll get out—or somebody is not doing their job and somebody here next time will make sure they get them.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Fair enough, but my question was why this wasn't identified at the beginning when, I'm assuming, millions were spent to build it. Now we're having to come back a few years later and add $650,000 for video cameras, which sounds like sort of an obvious kind of thing if you're dealing with security.
