Mr. Chairman, I am not against the concept of open government, but I am wondering, what are the rules or procedures used in other jurisdictions compared to this, seeing this is a new ruling. That is what I want to find out. It does not seem to be clear to me as a Member. It is my understanding the process now used for tabling of petitions is through elected Members. I guess we are going away from that and that is what I am trying to find out. Now, we are saying that any petition can come in through the Clerk of the House. That will be the public process for petitions. I need some clarification with regard to the reason for the committee's decision to make this particular decision. Thank you.
