Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm sitting in today at the committee, but it appears that most of this is around question period. That is the big sporting event that we display to the nation. People back home turn on their TVs at two o'clock, or whatever, depending upon where they are, and they watch this event. We get a lot of criticism as members: “How do you behave? If you were children in our school, we would have to close the place down.” We do get a lot of very derogatory comments about members of Parliament, and only a few probably cause most of the difficulty.
Mr. Marleau, with the setting we have, with the TV that we've brought in, the so-called cabinet ministers are under attack. It's like dealing with a hunting game. They never know who is going to be asked a question; they don't know what the question is about.
I would like to ask Mr. Marleau just to comment in terms of other legislators and other parliaments.
How can we improve the setting if we can't have the proper outcomes? We are talking about discipline. How do you discipline?
I was a school teacher for about 30 years. It depends upon the teacher, the setting and the environment, and what the lesson is.
What would improve the setting to make sure we don't get involved in this sporting activity, which is a hunting game to take some minister to task?
