Mr. Chairman, the report has been referred to several times, and I happen to have a copy. Mr. Chairman, you mentioned that the membership would be made up of representatives from both the House of Commons and the Senate, and equally comprised of government and opposition representatives. As far as experts are concerned, a funding body could obtain advice from experts, as well as from the appropriate parliamentary committees to assist in its deliberations.
It did talk about a pilot project, which we launched for the next two fiscal years, starting with 2006-07, and using the existing House of Commons Board of Internal Economy as the parliamentary budget determination body—I'm getting to my question—with the three commissioners within our mandate, the Information, Privacy, and Ethics Commissioners, as the initial participants. The Auditor General, who of course is part of it, is not part of our mandate, although I think they want her to be part of this process. That was recommendation one, which I just referred to briefly.
The second one had to do with exactly what's happening, that the Board of Internal Economy serve as the parliamentary budget-determining body for the offices of the Information, Privacy, and Ethics Commissioners on a trial basis, in the same manner as proposed in recommendation one. That would go for the 2006-07, 2007-08 fiscal years. Of course, you are now saying only the Ethics Commissioner goes to the Board of Internal Economy; everybody else is part of this other process.
