The mandate for PROC cites that the Procedure and House Affairs Committee studies and reports on the rules and practices of the House and its committees, electoral matters, questions of privilege, MP conflicts of interest, internal administration of the House, and services and facilities for MPs.
This is their mandate. This is why I'm recommending it, to make sure it goes to the right place. I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't do this. I want this study, actually. I think we're very supportive of getting to the bottom of this. We want accountability.
In terms of the amendment and the subcommittee, I like the idea, and I think that if Mr. Genuis would consider “if necessary” before “that the subcommittee expedite a study” or something to that effect it would be welcome, because we want to demonstrate to PROC, obviously, that this is urgent and that, if they don't have the capacity at committee, they can create the subcommittee. I support fully what he's doing with the subamendment.
