Mr. Ryan Meade:

To answer the Chair's question about other examples, she is probably aware that the electoral commission in the UK recently released a report covering many of the aspects the committee is considering. Google was able to contribute to that and collaborate with the electoral commission by feeding in our views. That is an example of where it is useful to have a standing body that can consider these matters. One of the views we have expressed on this Bill is the question of who would enforce it and what would that body be. On those two aspects, there is an argument for the committee to consider that a standing body would make some of the aims of the committee more achievable.
