I will ignore that as unworthy of you.
Hello, Madam Minister.
It is the case that, as you said, the 2015 election campaign fell apart in terms of the leaders debates when the leader of the Conservative Party and the leader of the New Democrats both refused to participate, which was sad for me. As you know, the consortium had said that under their rules the Green Party was now in the national leaders debates. It was at that moment, unexpected—and one would say, speaking of precedents, unprecedented—that a sitting Prime Minister and the leader of another opposition party would work together to deprive a space in a debate to a party that had won a seat in the House of Commons.
I'm glad to see this, as you know, I welcome the creation of a leaders debate commission.
Can you, for clarification purposes, outline what today you're presenting to us that is new information over the proposal last time? Is David Johnston now not a nominee but the official debates commissioner? The details around the content creation being done by a contracted-out entity, that strikes me as new. Could you just highlight what you're presenting today that is new information?
