Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mrs. Ivory, congratulations on your appointment. Given your wealth of knowledge, I have no doubt that you'll make an excellent parliamentary librarian.
My colleague, Mr. Carignan, spoke earlier about the work of our committee. Personally, I understand that your role isn't to tell us what to do. Our role is to ask you, from time to time, to help us with our work.
I would like to provide some historical background. On September 4, I will have been a member of Parliament for 40 years. I've been a member of the committee for a number of years. In some years, for example, we held international conferences with officials from the Parliament library in London, the Library of Congress in the United States and the Bibliothèque de l'Assemblée nationale in France. We wanted to know how they worked with members of Parliament. At the time, the focus was on implementing information technology.
We hear a great deal about misinformation these days. We could consult these people to find out how they deal with misinformation. We could then ask our librarian and her team to implement some of the rules learned there and, of course, to suggest other rules.
From time to time, we've held other meetings of this nature by video conference. It was relatively inexpensive and quite practical. We held meetings, sometimes once a week, for a month or two.
I hope that the librarian will support the committee's decisions on what steps to take. I think that the committee must decide what topics to cover and how to do so.
I think that this is how you see your role, Mrs. Ivory.
Right?
