I was going to speak to this issue of the third vice-chair. It did come up in the 43rd Parliament as well. This issue was tossed around at every committee in the last session. There was no real conclusion to this issue. It eventually went to the Board of Internal Economy. At that point, there was an issue in terms of how they would create this position so that it didn't violate the Parliament of Canada Act in terms of pay. The pay wasn't going to be increased in case more than one person ended up in this position. Anyway, the issue became so complicated, I don't know if there was ever a decision made by BOIE on that.
Is anyone aware of whether there was a decision from BOIE on that issue last session?
