If we are going to future business—because I certainly think we need to get on a schedule to make sure we are planning—the one thing I would also recommend is that we move away from making motions that lock in our time. We need to get back to a planning framework. I think it would probably bring down a bit of the temperature if we actually had a plan we were trying to follow in general.
From Justice Gomery's appearance the other day, which I thought was very interesting for all of us, I feel there are basically three areas that fall to our committee. One is that we're asking the government to embark on a formal study of Justice John Gomery's report. That's what he's requested from the House, and we're the only committee that's looked at it, so I think that would be a reasonable thing to bring forward.
We should immediately take steps to enact section 228 of the Federal Accountability Act that calls for the establishment of a public appointments commission, because that was one of the key elements in the report, and Justice Gomery certainly believes it is very crucial.
And we should immediately move to implement Justice Gomery's recommendation 15 by bringing into force the provisions of the Lobbyists Registration Act, which are not yet in force.
Again, those are areas, I believe, that are under the purview of what we try to do at this committee. Again, it's something we're going to bring as a recommendation to the government; we're not going to fill this up with 30 more witnesses. It's fairly straightforward.
