I would agree, but the logic in the rules--through you, Chair, to the clerk--assumes the spirit of fairness. You want to make sure that you cannot have a committee meeting without opposition. You must allow the opposition to have an opportunity to speak and be involved and participate in the committee.
So in the situation we find ourselves in, I would like to have that clarified, that it also would have to be, say, at least two members of the government.
