Procedure and House Affairs committee  Dr. Rayment, the problem is that when people are here, they don't actually get to do their job, and it's only gotten worse under a hybrid model. As Dr. Brock outlined, the type of functionality that we have does matter. We have to be seen to work. I just don't see, under the hy

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Please go ahead.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe that under the hybrid system, there have been practices adopted that have limited the members' ability to participate in Parliament itself.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Policing and security are two very different professions, with different workforces, career paths and skill sets. Is that a correct statement?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  In your opening comments, Mr. McDonell, you referenced what took place. I was in my office the first day after Parliament was functioning.
