Very good. That's all I wanted to establish.
I had been wrapping up by saying that one of my problems was the interference with the private member's bill process by ministers, and I was then going on to explain why I thought that was an important point. I was talking about it in the context of the Canadian Confederation and the way that we do committee work.
It's really troublesome that a mechanism that is in the House, that was created to allow non-executive council members—meaning non-cabinet ministers—an opportunity to actually generate laws.... It's a sacred right for many, particularly if you've been around for a while and you haven't had a chance to be in government and initiate government bills. It means an awful lot. It's also an opportunity to bring local matters to Parliament.
