Mr. Chair, if it's okay with Mr. Oliphant, I'm going to come back to my motion.
The problem last time may have been that the request was addressed to the chair and came solely from four Conservative members. That may have given the impression that it was a so-called partisan manoeuvre. Since we've agreed to work in the spirit of co-operation, I'd like to propose an amendment to Mr. Genuis's motion, to stipulate that the four members be from at least two political parties represented on the committee. That way, the request would not be seen as merely a tactic on the part of one political party.
Can we agree that it should be two political parties? Does anyone want it to be more? What I'm proposing is that the four members be from at least two political parties represented on the committee. In a nutshell, that would be my amendment should we have the opportunity to proceed with Mr. Genuis's motion.
