Yes, I did, Mr. Chair.
At the very end of the last meeting, I had a point of order where I asked if the clerk could give us information as to what he has heard from the head clerk with regard to committees when it comes to the issue of health and safety. I appreciate the fact that you relayed, perhaps, what you had heard, but my point of order was directed to the clerk—for him to be able to bring back information. I appreciate the fact that you have done so. It has perhaps put you in a bit of position because of that, but nevertheless I'm still awaiting the clerk to let us know what he had heard. Now when you have that information, it perhaps makes it a lot more understandable why you would have made the pronouncements that you had.
My point at the very end of the last meeting was simply that sometimes we use words like “health and safety”, and so on, that do not fit the actual definition, and therefore it becomes a problem. I would ask, as I had mentioned in my point of order of the last day, at the very end, if the clerk could inform us of the position that the head clerk has for committees with respect to the concept of crosstalk versus health and safety.
