Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I have a couple of points. First of all, there was a comment made by my colleague about Stockwell Day and the work he was doing. I suggest that when you have someone who is trying to show people how they should be following the rules so that they aren't being accused of being secret and unethical lobbyists.... I know he would understand what that situation is. When we just throw that out as an example of something that's bad, I think this is actually an example that would enhance the types of things that you are talking about. If there are changes that come, one would assume that this would also be part of what someone in his position would perhaps talk about.
The other part that I wanted to mention goes back to your comments about backbenchers and whether or not they are on committees. If they are, there should be a four- or five-year, or whatever, timeframe before they or their 20-year-old staffers who come with them to the committees.... I don't think people should be led to believe that it is an occasion that happens once in a while. All backbenchers are on at least one committee—most of us are on two committees—so you can recognize the gravity of what you are saying. It isn't just an occasional thing that backbenchers do.
I guess the other aspect is this. Madam Yates, you spoke about groups where contributions over a certain sum of money.... You felt it was important that that be emphasized, and that there could be updates in case there are dollars coming in from different groups and organizations. That's another issue that I wouldn't mind getting a little bit more information on.
Mr. Conacher had a comment first, if you want to start.
