In the last Parliament, the predecessor to this committee recommended a parallel process in its 43rd report. One would be a special committee of the House, and separately there would be a citizens' consultation group. I believe it was anticipated that the citizens' consultation group would do the polling, but it would be undertaken at the expense of the government. The government would put out the tender and award the tender.
In the recommendations, there were provisions for the two groups to meet at certain stages in the process. The citizens' consultation group would come up with its recommendations and feed those into the special committee of members of the House. As you know, the election intervened.
What the government did a few weeks ago was start the process for hiring someone, or a group, to undertake the citizen consultation aspect of the recommendation. At this point in time, that is entirely at the decision and discretion of the government. At this point in time, there is no parliamentary decision to set up a special committee or, as I think Mr. Preston is suggesting, the idea that this committee undertake that part of the recommendation, with an added element of dealing with certain other issues.
