Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I was also at that meeting. I also believe I have a reasonably good memory, and I recall that there was an agreement. It was agreed upon unanimously; there was no opposition.
There is an issue, again, just to underscore what Mr. Hill was saying. To be quite honest with you, I'm not the leading expert on standing orders. I wouldn't suggest that there is any particular standing order in here that I would be opposed to if it were deemed to be adopted permanently, but I do know one thing: I was brought up in an environment where my word was my bond. That's the bottom line. In this Parliament I have had the good fortune on many occasions to have conversations with, and come to agreement with, other parliamentarians on a variety of issues. Many of those occasions happened in committee, when an agreement would be struck with another committee member on whether you would support this particular initiative.
