Well, having an odd number is no guarantee that's going to be how the vote is cast. We have members from across the country, and quite often someone will be unable to attend, or when we do have a meeting, someone will declare a conflict and be unable to vote on something. In my two and a half years, we have never come to a close vote on anything.
My view is that the NCC is a unifying body that has a mandate to bring Canadians together. I think a narrow vote would be very unhealthy. I would move heaven and earth to make sure that didn't happen--and it has happened before. If you see something heading toward a very narrow decision, you'll seek an amendment or something to change the motion to make sure there is broader consensus.
