To prevent this problem happening again, Mr. Chairman, I would suggest all correspondence that comes to the clerk and you, as the chair of this committee, be withheld and tabled at the first public meeting after you receive it. That way, if you distribute it to people in their ridings, they don't know about it.... As you know we're inundated with mail. Therefore, if you make it a practice to have it distributed at a public meeting, then it becomes a public document. We all have it, and that way we'll prevent this problem happening again.
