The code currently requires that the guidelines be tabled with the committee and be approved by the committee. Subsection 30(2) says that I cannot issue guidelines unless they're approved by the committee, and they have to be reported to the House of Commons. They only come into effect once the report has been concurred in by the House.
It further goes on to say, “Until the guidelines and forms are reported to the House, they shall remain confidential.” I cannot even talk about guidelines or say anything about guidelines until such time as they have been reported to the House.
