So it's a government member. So you have a representative of the government on the subcommittee, which I think is crucial. It's typical. It's in Marleau and Montpetit. It's typical, and I don't know why Mr. Regan would be laughing at having a structure that's typical.
If the subcommittee would prefer having somebody other than the parliamentary secretary, I have no problem with that, and I would honour that. If that's the consensus of the committee, I would honour that, and it would be one of the other members. But we need to have a balanced structure. You have to have the voice of the government on there.
Even on that committee there would be three opposition members in that structure—we are in a minority government, Chair—with three votes, possibly, against the one. For the Liberals and the Bloc to suggest that the government have no voice—you would have three against zero. The chair does not vote except to break a tie. So if you pass—
We did not have a subcommittee, Chair, last time, except for two. We broke because we found ourselves so dysfunctional, and one of them came back with a bunch of mischief motions from the Liberals, and it was a mess. So to build a structure, a committee, that's going to be effective, you have to have a voice of the government. I think it's a reasonable motion, and I hope I can count on Mr. Cullen's support.
