Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm good with that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I have a reminder. We mentioned it at our informal luncheon. I mentioned it at our formal meeting. Again, I just want to remind members that public accounts is still very interested in getting a couple of standing order changes to improve and beef up the ability of public accounts to do their oversight.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We should go there.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I could move it.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  So moved.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Especially a few days after the shooting.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry, Chair, but I want to come back to this. If I'm too far off, I'll of course follow your guidance to get back, but I am really disturbed to hear this. I understand the practical reasons why. I accept that, but here's the thing. In this day and age, not only a government building but the premier government building on Parliament Hill, one of the buildings used for spouses—meaning the public—is not accessible.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I urge all of you to give some thought to the idea that we've done something and allowed something—and now we're aware of it—that makes no sense given current laws and attitudes, especially around equality. Thanks.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. Add everybody who has a say in the decision-making and in what order.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Well, yes. That's why I said, Chair, that I heard there were at least four entities—FHBRO; the government, meaning the executive; the National Capital Commission; and the Speaker/BOIE. Then you could add PROC to that. We have our oar in the water, so that's five players. Again, the fact that you can't make it clear is my point.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  And the media.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thanks, Chair. I'm glad you asked that question, because it's quite germane to the point. Before I do that, though, I do want to just give us all a little pat on the back—nobody else can do it; I can tell you that. We started out getting a report on West Block. We became alarmed at the lack of MP input.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Our lobbying worked.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  So as much as possible, tee up the next Parliament—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  —and if they, in the majority, are as enthusiastic, they would have something to work with.
