I would also say that if there was some suggestion that the department never appears on private members' bills, I don't believe that's true, from my experience on this committee and other committees. I don't think it should be true.
Private members' bills are not partisan, even though they may have political issues. They will move through the House like other legislation and become part of legislation. If we're establishing some sort of precedent that we don't get technical advice from the department on private members' bills, I think that's quite dangerous.
