Mr. Chair, why don't we come to a compromise on this issue? Why doesn't the clerk, then, every hour upon the hour, simply remind the committee of the extent to which we have been filibustering this debate through the government members? Or we can prop this up once every hour to remind people who are watching and observers who are taking notes that in fact the government continues, hour after hour after hour.
I would remind you, sir, and the members of the government caucus that during the hearings in another committee, it was a regular feature of that committee that all of these members propped up a copy of the Gomery report for television reporters, in front of each of their microphones. It was never ruled out of order at the time. In fact, nobody complained about it. It's interesting now how the government is so deeply offended.
