That's okay. I appreciate that you are bringing it up.
I've reviewed this, folks. One of our media outlets has requested to meet personally just before the meeting commenced, and they would like to put up a camera to televise the meeting because this meeting was not able to be televised through the normal broadcast. I think the House of Commons only has the ability to use two or maybe three rooms where they are able to broadcast, and those rooms were all filled up with ministers appearing, so this meeting was not able to be broadcast.
The Standing Orders and the rules in O'Brien and Bosc do permit the recording. There are some rules about that. It has to be an accredited media outlet, and I have every reason to believe this is satisfactory. The camera must be situated in a stationary position, and it must be tied into the House of Commons system. It must be done while we're on a suspension, and it must stay in place until the committee either goes into suspension again or the committee is over.
Now that everybody knows the terms and conditions about how that happens, I seek the committee's guidance. Would you accept a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery putting a camera up in the room while we're suspended?
Okay, as long as they understand and accept those terms, we'll do so.
We'll suspend for a few moments, and then we'll resume with the Ethics Commissioner.
Thank you, colleagues.
