mr. dennis and mr. vaughn, as you are aware, currently health benefits for employees is non-taxable, and some proposals have recommended requiring employees for the first time ever to pay taxes on health care benefits. and i was wondering from mr. dennis, how would a fundamental change like that impact a small business's decision to offer health care to its workers? >> the question is really equity in the whole thing. right now we have a system where, if i'm an employer and i contribute to $1,000 or $5,000 to help my employee buy their own insurance on the market, whether it's through the exchange or whatever, there is no tax deduction -- excuse me -- no tax exclusion for the employee where if i'm paying for it, there is an exclusion. that clearly is inequitable, and really, i think in the long term, it's going to hurt smaller firms and their ability to provide this sort of thing is the fundamental inequity involved. you're not asking about the inequity, though. you're asking about whether or not the ta

mr. dennis mcshane. >> so do i, sir. so do i. is it an order for any right honorable member to make a defamatory statement in a dispatch box? >> members should take responsibility for their own statements and, of course, members should not make defamatory statements about other members. but the right honorable gentleman is raising his point of order in the abstraction and, therefore, for me it becomes hypothetical and i think the speaker wisely doesn't seek to respond to hypothetical questions. point of order, i hope it's the last. mr. robert -- >> in your earlier remarks are reviewing the security given the instant essay will you ensure that the public continue to have the right to go to select committees and their right is not restricted? >> i'm grateful for the honorable gentleman for his point of order, that right to attend meetings in the way the honorable gentleman describes is a very long established and precious freedom. i think it will be quite wrong for me to seek to constrain or circumscribe an independent investigatio
