The clerk has just established once again some of the points that I have already mentioned. We're not the first to be doing this in public.
This part is not what the clerk has said but what I am about to suggest. It increases transparency, yes, and there are no rules against our doing this in public. That's why it has been done in public before. It is an adopted norm, I guess, but in this case we really have no choice because we have been ordered by the order of reference adopted by the House. It requires all committees meeting virtually to be webcast to the public on ParlVU, so it's quite clear that we must be in public.
As for the report, yes, I agree that it's a confidential draft report, so it's not to be circulated so that someone can print it and then further circulate it. Discussing the report will of course reveal certain aspects of the report, but it's still not the same as publishing the report before it's edited and is in its final version.
That's all I can say for now. We'll carry on with the list that we have. If you'd like to get on that list, then please just raise your hand in the “participants” toolbar, and I can hear from you.
