Mr. Chair, I agree with what Bev said earlier. We should sit and talk, and be serious about it.
I for one would like to participate in this process, but I do not want a model that would be similar to the one of the national defence and Canadian forces ombudsman.
After the problems national defence had in Somalia, it was decided to appoint an ombudsman, Mr. André Marin, to appease the Canadian citizens and the military. Back then, and even today, it was never considered that the approval of the House and elected representatives of the people should be sought through a bill, because it was simply a departmental initiative.
Am I right, Mr. Rossignol?
