Witnesses we had at a past meeting, and two out of the three of you, mentioned that in all matters of protocol there needs to be an element of flexibility. Notwithstanding some of the specific issues Mr. MacAulay is bringing up around order of precedence, when you are looking at all the different protocol offices and all the levels of government—goodness knows, in this country we spend a heck of a lot of time having jurisdictional conversations—is it possible to get the minutiae down in some kind of guide book? If it's possible, is it a good idea?
