Mr. Speaker, the member has been around for a number of years now. I am sure he is aware that there are often debates within a standing committee. A planning session takes place when a committee is determining what it is it would like to look at, and the committee even entertains the possibility of going beyond the city of Ottawa in order to hear from Canadians.
I wonder if he could share with the House to what degree that discussion took place. Was there a discussion at the committee suggesting what the member across the way is now asking the House to do?
