First of all, in response to Jim's intervention, it could be with meeting. If the executive council decided not to act on a motion, that would be at their discretion, because they're the ones who have the authority to do this now. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't also be in their discretion to say “Yes, that's a good idea, and we will include the committee in our deliberations”.
If you're suggesting it wouldn't happen, that is a judgment. But you can't argue that it couldn't happen. The executive council has the authority to engage a process, whatever process it wishes to engage in acting on its authority. So we're asking them to do this.
On the question of it going to the House, I don't think it's going to the House. By suggesting it goes to the House, the only thing the House could do is offer scrutiny. It couldn't make a decision, because it doesn't have the authority to do that. Or the executive council does, and that would speak to what Jim was saying.
Therefore, it strikes me that all we're really doing is putting parliamentarians in a process that would offer consideration, comment. The executive council can accept it or reject it. We accept that. In my view, this is the place to do that. This is the group that has the expertise, that deals with the Broadcasting Act, that deals with these issues regularly on behalf of all parliamentarians. So it strikes me that I can't agree with the interpretation that says it would be meaningless, or it wouldn't happen, or it couldn't happen.
It may be the member's judgment that it wouldn't, but I don't accept his judgment that it couldn't. It would be up to the executive council to exercise its authority any way it wishes.
