Procedure and House Affairs committee  I appreciate this. I feel as though we're just getting information we received previously. I wish there were more specifics and more information. Will the panel meet on a consistent basis or only on the occasion of an incident?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Will they be meeting regularly to evaluate the briefings?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Again, that's not very specific. Will political parties be notified if the panel is convening?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No. I will just put that there for the time being.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, I had given the notice previously, so this is the moving of the motion. Then I'll move into my questioning. Of course there's been a lot in the news recently in regard to the social media platforms. We've seen Facebook with two responses now, the first one being the reposi

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Minister, if you don't mind, I'll move on. I don't really feel we're getting a direct answer from you in regard to the action you're willing to take.
