Thank you, Chair.
I was on the finance committee, and we did this exact same thing. It does a couple of things. It reflects the actual number of seats in the House of Commons. It actually reflects what that situation is now.
I'd like to remind the members that even though the steering committee might get together and set an agenda or a course of action, it still would have to be approved by all the members of the committee.
I'd also like to remind you that the chair would be sitting there, neutral, and the only time his voice would be raised would actually be in the case of a tie vote. In the steering committee, I don't think that is as big an issue as it would be in this committee as a whole.
Again, it just gets back to reflecting the relevance of what the Canadian population sent us here with a strong mandate to do. I think the steering committee should be represented that way too.
