Thanks, Chair.
I'll pick up where I think I left off.
I think I was just starting to read the beginning of the second paragraph, which says:
Between December 1984 and June 1985 we heard 50 witnesses and, in reply to a call for submissions published in newspapers, received 185 briefs or letters. It has not been possible to address all the suggestions and proposals made by the various submissions. However, these documents are on file in the Committees Branch and constitute a valuable resource for future committees or individuals interested in parliamentary reform.
What I find particularly interesting, Chair, is that the next paragraph says:
During visits to—
—wait for it—
—Washington (February 12-15), Bonn (May 13-15), Paris (May 16-17), and London (May 20-23), the committee had an opportunity to compare procedures through discussions with legislators and staff in these countries.
Wow.
