Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll be very brief as well. I simply want to make a point of clarification for the record.
Mr. Richards indicated in his statement that the letter that was provided by the Speaker indicated that the administration had consulted with 30 members of Parliament or cabinet per se.
I want to quote the paragraph in that letter. It states:
The Administration consulted with more than 30 parliaments and collaborated closely with several who share similar requirements....
Then it continues on from there.
It's very important, for the record, for Canadians to know that the consultation was done with international parliaments as opposed to parliamentarians here in Canada.
