Perhaps you could clear something up for me, Minister. It was stated this morning by the commissioner that existing gag orders such as employment agreements, settlement agreements and severance agreements that may contain non-disparagement terms won't be an impediment to people giving evidence, which is good news. Can you confirm or clarify for this chamber what kinds of protections witnesses will have in public hearings? Will they have an equivalent to full parliamentary privilege? What kinds of protections are in place? Nobody seems to know, and I'm sure that is a problem for people making submissions. (Time expired)
