Fine. Thank you, witnesses.
The witnesses may be excused.
I have just one small point I'd like to bring to my colleagues here.
The chair was uncomfortable with a last-minute request for the proceedings today to be televised. Given the circumstances and the timing of this, I think this is an issue that should come before either a committee of the whole or the steering committee so that we can establish a clear precedent.
There appears to be one rule, which is obviously stated by the clerk on that, yet under the practical guide there appears to be another interpretation. The chair just did not want to be put in a position where he would have had to make a decision on that. So I would suggest that this come before a committee of the whole when the regular chair returns, or it could go to the steering committee, or both.
Could I get your thoughts on that?
