The discussion right now is centring around whether we should hear from more witnesses. I do have some other questions, with your permission, I could move on and maybe we could come back to that.
There's been concern expressed by the Auditor General regarding the use of the word “advocate” in the motion, I believe. It says “the Commissioner to advocate on environmental and sustainable development issues”. My question is, what is meant by the word “advocate”?
From the Library of Parliament, we each received a brief, and there is a definition from New Zealand of what they mean by “advocate”. So, Mr. Chair, through you to Mr. McGuinty, because it's his motion, is he using the same definition of “advocate” as what we see in this brief? If you like, I can read that, or are you familiar with that?
