I don't know which one either. We were considering getting advice from them, as well as a proposal from us. Perhaps the clerk could come back with a suggestion for how to proceed with getting a further recommendation if we decide as a committee to do a formal letter.
Overall, having worked in Manitoba politics for a number of years, I'm very comfortable and familiar with a tobacco gift in particular. I know that's very common in Manitoba. Having an elder come and share their wisdom is a great honour, so I can understand providing a gift.
Our only concern with the honorarium is that it may set a precedent for all committees and all witnesses. I think we should get some advice on that before we proceed.
