Thank you very much.
I thank the clerk, Mr. Chair, through you. We have a number of questions that we put forward that need answers. If the government is in good faith on this, and I'm assuming that Mr. Reid is, I think there will be another opportunity for the government to do the right thing. That's important.
That means allowing the clerk time to get the answers to the questions that we have now asked. If we don't have the answers—and Mr. Reid clearly does not have the answer—then it's clear that this has not been fully thought through. As a committee we have a responsibility to look at what the implications are, to hear back from our clerk and to hear back from the House, and thus to get the information. It's not rocket science. Anything that has a profound impact on House procedures has to be considered very carefully. So I presume that the members on the government side will do the right thing and table this so that we can simply have the discussion when we have the information.
