I'll start and very quickly say that I had a good committee. I think we all bought into this.
There is a great deal of power in wordsmithing. I remember one occasion where Mr. Christopherson was absolutely adamant that we were not going to weaken our stand on a certain point. Then the government was uncertain about some of the wording. Mr. Christopherson, Ms. Mendès and others—and the Conservative Party as well—were able to meet on a side meeting, work things out and wordsmith things to come up with something.
Why is it important to have unanimous reports? It's because if a department sees that your reports are not unanimous, they can ask why it is important that they make the changes you're asking for, since you don't even agree amongst yourselves as a committee.
We had over 70 committee reports. It might have been 80; Angela and Dillan would know. All of them were unanimous. It wasn't just that we rubber-stamped everything. There was, occasionally, a little water in the wine, but typically we were able to wordsmith and hold the force, but not give up on the department.
David, take it away.
