Chair, I think we had a good, healthy discussion previously, and it was brought to our attention that reduced quorum was focused on the makeup of a majority government, where you have more members of the government on this side and you have to make sure that meetings cannot proceed without representation from the opposition members. The safety valve put in those routine motions is that the government can't hold meetings without a member of the opposition present, and that's what this clause is.
We find in a minority government that the opposite is true. In that case, a member of the government should be there. So would a motion be appropriate? We've already voted on changing it so that would say “the government”. Would it be appropriate to reintroduce that motion at this meeting?
