Thanks, Chair.
Thanks, Mr. Reid, for being here.
I note that we had some good, nerdy PROC-related discussions in the past on the code of conduct for members of Parliament when we did some work on that, which was overdue. I appreciate your being here. I appreciate your putting forward M-109 and the chance to engage with you on this.
I note that Mrs. Romanado brought up your work in 2019 with Frank Baylis and, I think, another group of MPs at the time that put forward some pretty sweeping changes to the Standing Orders. That's kind of the end run, almost, that you described, which is kind of interesting. You kind of took that path in trying to change the Standing Orders through a private member's motion that was pretty sweeping, some of which I agreed with, like the parallel debating chamber. I'm not saying I wouldn't have necessarily supported those changes, but you did so in a way that you're now trying to prevent with this motion.
Are you kind of having a moment of conscience here, where you're trying to prevent your former self from what it was maybe inclined to do back then?
I mean that in jest a little bit.
