I thought Mr. Proulx's first comment was very good, about looking at the municipal bylaw that deals with that particular problem. I think his second suggestion, about ministers' offices, isn't that practical. Ministerial offices, of course, are scattered all over the city; and as for MP offices of the ministers, they're scattered all over Parliament Hill, in the justice building and so on.
I gather that part of the role of the drivers is to be there at the end of cabinet meetings, for example, to take the ministers away from cabinet meetings. It would be impractical—because you don't know when a cabinet meeting is going to end--to expect them to go to the MP's office, come back out, start the car, and so on.
I'm not a minister myself and I haven't been one, but we do have one former minister here. Would she assure us that this would have worked in her case and that her car would never have been idling? We have some experience here, so maybe she could shed some light on this for us.
