I'll give you a bit of background. I was a professor of political studies and I was also a professor of physical and health education. I often explain the answer to why both--it's not the true one, but I'll give it to you anyhow--is that politics is a contact sport.
That's what you're involved in here at one level. It's never going to go as long as there are elections and different sides competing, but that's not the end of it. Something that Parliament as a whole has to recognize is that it has a function regardless of party stripe. What I want to see come out of this committee--and I'm not going to say it will, but I would like to see it--is some agreement on a way, and I offered some suggestions, that Parliament might get better information and be better informed when it's making a decision on legislation.
As far as the report of the committee is concerned, I have not been privy to all the deliberations of this committee. I can say that historically it would be a unique event, I believe, in the Commonwealth to find a whole government in contempt, but I must say that I have found the behaviour of the government troubling in some of these areas.
As I say, I can't rule on contempt. I can't say. That's not my job either.
