Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to make clear that Cabinet doesn't have a position on this. All the Cabinet Ministers may vote the same way but there is no Cabinet position; this is a -- these are motions about how this House functions, and Members are allowed to vote as they please. We all have different experiences, and it's all very procedural.

My issue with this motion is that, you know, I've -- like one of the previous speakers, I've been a Regular Member, I've been a chair of Committee of the Whole, I've been a Minister, and so I have some perspective on things. And my concern about resourcing, it's not so much external resources; it's our resources here, it's our time. We often spend late nights in this House and often we're up against the wall rushing through very important things that we actually should be discussing, that could only be discussed here in this House. Things like the budget. Things like bills when we're at second and third reading. And what this is proposing here -- and you know, we don't know what's going to happen. Maybe it's never used. But we are talking about potentially adding more into Committee of the Whole when Committee of the Whole is time that can only be used for certain things. We have a number of standing committees. I think I see five chairs in front of me right now of five different standing committees. And so there's plenty of opportunities to have these discussions in public. Ministers are happy to get in front of standing committee. You know, there's always options to get in front of standing committee. Always happy to have the public briefings on different topics. And there's no concern about us having to -- Cabinet having to answer questions in the House related to statements. That's what we do in the House. That's pretty much the whole job of being a Minister in the House, is answering questions, whether it's about bills and budgets or during question period. So I actually agree with the Member for Range Lake. Let's get rid of the rule. We're trying to do something with it. Well, we can get rid of it. I think that's probably more utility than tacking this additional rule on here and basically taking something that can be done in standing committee and transporting it -- transplanting it back into this House. So I think that's about all the notes I have here. And I will agree with the -- I'll just leave it at that. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
