Thank you.
I have three quick points.
The motion refers to the new government. I don't think it's a new government. I admit somewhat tongue-in-cheek that I think it's an old, tired, defensive and jaded government. But that wasn't my main issue.
The second issue is that this motion purports to probe the creation of legislation. In doing that, we will get into the subject of advice to minister. That is normally an area where committees do not go. We can go there, but we had better have a good reason, and we're going to be met with the usual responses. So we're not going to get much if we go to the public servants and say, how did you manage to generate this? It falls under the rubric of advice to minister.
Last, although I'm going to support the motion, notwithstanding its perceived flaws on my part, I don't think it should get in the way of our doing what's been referred to us by the House. We're a creature of the House. That work has been given to us by the House. We have an obligation to get to it.
So I'm happy to see this item in inventory. Of course, that inventory list of will always be at risk because of a possible prorogation.
Thank you.
