As most of you are probably aware, the members' code was modified last June to include a mandatory training session for all new MPs. Therefore, within 120 days following the publication of their name in the Canada Gazette, a member has to have training with our office. We have actually communicated with the five new members, informed them of this obligation and scheduled training for them.
Yes, it was a recommendation made by previous commissioners. The procedure and House affairs committee has granted that. Therefore it is now part of the obligations for new members.
