Mr. Speaker, that does cut to the heart of the issue. It would in fact make me reticent to use legal counsel in the House. It would make me consider carefully going outside the House for legal counsel. I think it would be a shame if our legal counsel withered away, because surely they have the experience, they have the background, they have the abilities to look at all the legislative things in a way that legal counsel normally would not do.
I personally would be very uncomfortable having the two sides reviewing legislation in that way.
