Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I think that the rule as it stands in other committees is to have three people. The addition clearly violates the Standing Orders. If we were to adopt this motion, two parallel committees could then sit in the same city. The government members would sit in one room, and the opposition members in another.
Basically, you're saying in the motion that even if the government members aren't present the committee can still sit. The opposite would also be true. In other words, should the opposition members be absent the committee would also be able to sit. The problem is with the way the motion is worded. It doesn't make any sense.
