I think the word meddling is just challenging. At the end of the day, we are the elected chamber and we're the ones who get to wear it because we knock on doors. Some people have experienced that in the past.

I think it's important for us to get the information. I know that the two official languages of Canada are important. I know accessibility is important.

Virtual reality is exciting. I went to an event on Monday and I was sick for three days. I thought it was a bug, but no, it was just the virtual experience because the body's not used to it. I think that's why everybody doesn't go to space.

I think the information will be relevant and appreciated. I think we should remember that it is two chambers that are present here that need to make decisions for the country and need to be informed.

I would like actual substance coming rather than talking points, so that we can ensure that the experience is for Canadians because every Canadian belongs on Parliament Hill.

The Joint Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Thank you.

Analysts, do you have any comments to make?

Stephanie Feldman Committee Researcher

No. We can carry that feedback back to our management and come back to this committee with more information.

The Joint Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Thank you.

Is there any more discussion? Seeing none, is there any new business? I don't see any.

Is there a motion to adjourn the meeting?

So moved.
