Thank you, Mr. Chair. I certainly will not require that amount of time. What we did as a committee was we looked at how other jurisdictions deal with conduct guidelines, Codes of Conduct. It was a wide-ranging review that was assisted through our able staff. We looked at how the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association deals with some of these matters, so we looked at a number of examples around the world actually, and certainly, most jurisdictions had made a move to a more detailed Code of Conduct rather than just guidelines. This is common in other governments, as I said, in other sectors including the volunteer sector. This is in an effort to improve enforceability and accountability. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I look forward to support of all Members again on this, and I request a recorded vote. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
