Thank you.
Let me try both of those at the same time. I was trying to make notes in order to be able to respond more fully, but my pen died on me.
To deal with Mr. Christopherson's question first, it's not people who are not members of cabinet, who have their own reasons for not actually being able to introduce motions, because cabinet acts as a single unit. Rather, it's people who are not members of a caucus. On this committee, as a practical matter, that would be a reference to Ms. May, for example. She's not a member of a caucus. I suppose there's a sense that she is a caucus. At any rate, that's who it's referring to. That's the very narrow meaning.
On the second point, regarding precedents elsewhere in the Commonwealth, I just don't know what there's been elsewhere. Casting our collective minds back, we can all remember that this spring the finance committee actually made use of a similar procedure. To be honest, I don't have the exact wording of what they did. They had a somewhat similar procedure. That, in essence, if you like, is the precedent for this.
To answer Mr. Lamoureux's question, this is just a way of creating a system, a structure, or a rule that's available in advance for allowing greater integration of independent members. Obviously, it's not just Ms. May but also members of the Bloc Québécois who are sitting as independents right now. There are a number of other individuals who were elected under one party or another who are now sitting as independents who would also fall under this motion.
