I understand that. Senator O'Toole said committees should be looked at individually. There is a separation between joint committees and select committees. I had experience of spending long hours at the transport committee and it was only when a "sexy" topic came up, such as the mini-CTC, that anybody turned up to report on it, yet the other work done by Members went unremarked on. I suggest a sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges so Members may discuss this matter. We would, however, need to hold it immediately because these motions have passed through the other Houses without debate.
