Thanks very much, Chair.
If I can, I want to thank Ms. Tassi for the courtesy of the heads-up, because this is an issue that's non-partisan. Starting that way with the approach makes a real big difference in how these things unfold, so I appreciate the courtesy.
Also, I take note of the fact that Ms. Tassi is also the deputy whip of the government, so, unlike most of us, can be dealing with details of this on a rather ongoing basis sometimes. I take some lead from that, in terms of her experience.
The only thing is, Chair, what I want to propose—and I'll move it—is broadening the mandate to include the following. My amendment reads, “with a view to make sure effective harassment protections are available to members, employees, interns, volunteers, and other people working with members of the House of Commons.”
I know we do these things in different segments, so if somebody's got an argument that this isn't the place for it, fine. We are seeking to broaden the protections that would be involved, and I put that before colleagues.
