This actually relates to what I was originally going to talk about. I would like to speak in favour of having a committee of the whole, partly selfishly because I'm a new member and it seems to me that's an opportunity for me to learn more, rather than a small group doing it with me receiving it. As an old MP, I might not want to do that--I might be tired of it--but right now that would be helpful for me.
The second point is really a question. It relates to the sifting through of the business. My understanding, and I may be wrong as a new MP, is that this is actually a new committee of the 40th Parliament as opposed to an old committee that continues its work.
I'm not saying that I don't want to value the work that was done in the 39th, 38th, or 37th Parliaments, but it seems to me to be fair to a 40th Parliament that we actually start with a tabula rasa, that we actually start new. We put everything into the hopper and try to evaluate it, knowing that some work has been done previously, obviously, but it doesn't get grandparented in because it was done. That seems to me to be a technical question: that it is a new committee, as opposed to some of us now being new and joining your old committee.
