Oh, that's because of our four minutes. That's wonderful.
Gentlemen, based on the questions here today and your answers, I don't think anybody doubts your impartiality. We appreciate that very much.
I would like to confirm your roles, if I may.
I'm reading from House of Commons Procedure and Practice, which says, “the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel [is] responsible for providing legal counsel services to the Speaker, the Board of Internal Economy, [all] Members”, regardless of party, and to the clerk, officials and House of Commons administration.
It is also my understanding that you in particular, Mr. Dufresne, have provided independent legal advice to committees in the past, including the finance committee. Is that correct?
