Mr. Chairman, I have a point of order. And I do this in a constructive way.
Mr. Brown, in his opening remarks, purported to attribute to the Canadian Bar Association a particular position. He didn't quote them, but he attributed a position that may or may not be accurate.
Because we're all protected around here from libel and slander actions, just in case we make mistakes, I just wanted the record to be clear that it's possible that the Canadian Bar Association may be a witness here, but I think, for all of us, we should avoid attributing positions to persons and groups unless we're quoting directly from the record, and allow them the benefit of dealing with these issues straight up. I just feel that since the Canadian Bar Association is a frequent witness here, assisting Parliament in its work, we ought not to cavalierly label them as taking a position. Unless, of course, it is a quote and they've taken that position publicly.
