I'll make a point to Mr. Ménard.
On reducing the quorum, it's out of respect for the witnesses that we have reduced the quorum. When witnesses show up and members don't show up, we then show disrespect to witnesses.
I believe a quorum of three, plus the chair, is more than ample to accomplish the minimum quorum requirement. We can hear witnesses when we invite them and they show up, when members inadvertently fail to show.
