The answer to that is yes.
There will be various levels of tolerance among my colleagues across the country, in response to your question. Some will see it in terms of protecting the independence of their office and so on. I get that. I understand that. But in terms of being effective in the work I do, where I do it, I have accepted invitations to go to speak to caucuses when they have requested, and those sessions have been helpful. I have made it a point after an election to meet especially with the new members and to talk to them as part of their, if you like, initiation. I have spoken to caucus chairs on occasion when I've considered that there's a problem looming. I will continue to do all of those things.
Some of my colleagues may have no appetite for that, but I find that it has been helpful to me in the sense that it allows people to figure out, as one of your colleagues was essentially raising, whether I am a person they can talk to, whether I am realistic, and whether I am somebody who seems to understand what the problems are. I do those things without apology and quite happily.
