Mr. Chairman, it seems to me there are two points here. The first thing is if the committee determines it would like to move ahead with the piece of legislation, then you could take the open government bill and do as the previous committee did and say, “We support this bill as a bill, and that the government bring forth a bill based on this bill, supported by a minister.” That was the strategy adopted by the previous committee. It seems to me that's a rational decision for this committee to look at.
