The government is not Parliament. We are, as we sit around this table.
Having gone through this exercise before, I can assure members of the government, from my experience in dealing with parliamentarians from all political backgrounds over the course of the last 14 years, that when a discussion of Standing Orders comes along there is a willingness from all political perspectives to get it right and to make changes, if necessary, that strengthen, not inhibit, our ability to do our jobs.
I have spoken with many very learned procedural experts about the Standing Orders over the course of the last number of years, because that was my job. I had to know these things.
