Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate it.
Just to clarify, I don't believe you actually called the vote. I don't recall hearing it. That aside, I appreciate our being able to walk back the time.
I want to lean in a bit on the concern of doubling. I also appreciate the unique perspective and expertise from my colleague Mr. Villemure as a professor of ethics. There's no question that's extremely valuable.
I had a point of clarification with him. There's nothing preventing him from actually going to PROC, participating in the discussions there and offering that lens within a full and comprehensive study at that committee. In that way we're not wasting valuable House resources and time, and what's happening in this committee. I've done it many times. I've joined committees on pieces of legislation or issues of interest in which I have expertise.
Through you, Mr. Chair, I would like Mr. Villemure to let me know if he has actually considered the ability to attend and participate in other committees that are availed to him as a member of this chamber. We've done that quite collaboratively on other tables. I'm not really sure if he has considered that so that we can actually focus on the work of the committee here. It seems that PROC is the appropriate place for this study, and I'd like to ask that question.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
