Before I start, I'd like to introduce my colleague, Malcolm Allen, who will sometimes be here with me. He has taken the CFIA file and he may be here when I'm not here, so I'd just like to welcome Malcolm here.
I've only had experience with the way we've done it since I've been here, which is having one person from each party. I've found that our committees, the subcommittees, worked really well. They are fairly informal: four people sit around and we get an agenda together. It gives the chair a chance to talk. In the new format, the chair would be limited. I don't think you have to chair a meeting of three or four people.
We seem to have worked really well. I would suggest that we continue that way until we see if there's something that doesn't work. It's worked in the past, and I think we've done a good job. We can continue to do that without getting too involved in changing the process.
