Before we begin routine proceedings, there was a point of order raised earlier this morning, and I would like to correct a statement I made about members in the House referring to the presence or absence of members at committee.
Having verified this practice, there is indeed a different standard used when referring to members' attendance in committee, since in committee, as we know, attendance is recorded. There is a public record for those proceedings, whereas in the House there is not.
I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that my comments may have caused.
