I think the most important thing is that people like me, who are trying to change the rules.... You are dealing with an institution that is several hundreds of years old. The Canadian Parliament has roots that go back to 1791, and before that at Westminster for centuries beyond that. People like me understand that we should be making modest adjustments. We're not revolutionaries. There are other places where you can be a revolutionary more effectively.
We're dealing with the Standing Orders. You say I'm a small part of a long continuum or stream. I should keep them as small as possible and let the conventions that are evolving, and generally evolving in the right direction, I believe, on the whole....
We're more inclusive, for example, of mothers and nursing mothers in the House of Commons than was true when I came here a quarter of a century ago. There are a zillion other examples. We have rules on harassment now that we didn't have in the past. I could think of more examples, but I'd run out of time.
I think we're heading in the right direction on our conventions for the most part. We should only adjust on a limited basis through statutory change. That's the kind I'm considering.
