What you're talking about doesn't deal specifically with what's in my motion. Part of the reason I left that out was that's more ambitious, and it's a debate on which you may agree with me on this point, but you may not agree with me on that point.
I personally would like to see some changes and different ways of drawing committees and working things out, but as far as what I'm specifically recommending today is concerned, that's immaterial. I think it would be useful to provoke debate, and I hope there is more debate and there are more motions that come forward on that. It goes back to the point I was making with Mr. Lamoureux that committees should be creatures of the House. That gives them more strength; it gives them more flexibility. Frankly, it gives the executive a degree of insulation if the committee does something that the executive isn't thrilled with, because currently when the committee does something, the presumption is that the executive gave the order to do that. Having been here long enough—10 years—I know that may be true, but it isn't always true.
Sometimes the clarity of responsibility is a benefit for all involved.
