DAVID SEYMOUR: Well, of course, Mr Speaker, and I think it's reasonable to give some context in which the Epidemic Response Committee was established, and that is the context: Parliament was shut, so it was necessary. I have to say that the Epidemic Response Committee performed exceptionally well, but it's important to preface that statement with the fact that it will never be a substitute for democracy and this Parliament. It's important in a democracy that people are able to send a representative from their community or from their preferred party to represent and speak for them—that is almost the definition of a democracy. So we had to improvise and do it in the form of the Epidemic Response Committee.
