Would you also agree with me generally that most of the time—if not all the time—when a member of the governing party wishes to bring forward legislation that impacts a particular minister, and in this particular case, the Minister of Public Safety, the governing member brings that legislation, that private member's bill, to the minister involved, to the minister, his staff, and his people? In many cases, as I suspect in this case, their lawyers look at it to make sure that it does what the member intends it to do, and this committee, after that process, then has the opportunity to look at it and make any amendments they feel are appropriate, provided it doesn't change the actual essence of the bill. Is that correct?
