I know lawyers get paid for every minute they work. Maybe they'll get more money to go look into the history of Parliament and read everything that has happened and all the minutes, and that way he could get paid. I don't know. I'm not accusing Mr. O'Toole of that.
But if I were a lawyer, which I am not, and I'm doing my research and I read a bill, I think it's nice to see it right there and not have to go anywhere. Not being a lawyer, I don't get paid per minute.
I think it's just information and it is a small paragraph. If what Mr. O'Toole is saying is right, then I'd like to see if we're going to see any preambles that are repetitive in any of the other bills coming out in one year, two years, or four years.
I think this just shows the willingness of the government to accept that.... Finally they are saying for people named by the Parliament and the Senate, here it is and here's the reason for it. It is because they are named by Parliament. Then when you read it, you don't have to go look at all those minutes because it takes a long time. You have to know how to do it, how to get in there and get all the Hansards and what have you.
At the same time, I don't know why we didn't take the list and add the president of Radio-Canada and the chair of Radio-Canada and of the CRTC, because they all really have to be bilingual. We might as well work on the list right now and then we don't have to come back to it.
What we want to include are those who are named by Parliament, which is clear and was part of the preamble.
