Mr. Chairman, what is a public policy matter? Is it current government policy pertaining to the public's interest? Is that an interpretation of what is being alluded to? That would restrict Members receiving petitions from their constituents. That is why we left it in a general nature. If you restrict it to policy, it will make it difficult for anyone to present petitions to the government.
