The honourable members couldn't quite get away with that in the press, because they would be shamed for it, but they're essentially doing a modification of that.
Look, you can do all the political grandstanding you need to do for the press, and do the stuff that opposition parties do, in one round. You can do that. It's in the later rounds that you start to get serious business. We could actually do serious work on serious issues and come up with serious recommendations. There are a lot of times when members, not from my caucus, or not my party, have asked good questions to elicit good information. To do that, you actually need to have a variety of people with a variety of backgrounds asking questions.
I realize that the House leaders, the whips, and the more partisan members always are interested in getting the clip for the news and moving on. But the purpose of committee should be to actually learn something so that we can do better policy for our constituents. This seems to have been lost on certain elements of the House and apparently on certain new members of this committee.
