I understand very well, Mr. Chair, but we reached consensus on the basis of a discussion. In the government's new motion, we must take into account the fact that inevitably, the chair is the person who calls the meeting. I do not know what the other members of the official opposition think about this new amendment, which amounts to putting a period after the word "present" and eliminating the words "including one member of the opposition". I would like to have a discussion on this point.
