Well, Mr. Easter, the steering committee is comprised of the members set out in routine motions. You are right that in some committees.... That's something we probably should bring up. It's not something we could do right now. It would require a change in the routine motions.
There are two ways of doing it, just for the benefit of members of the committee. I think your routine motions right now state that the steering committee shall be comprised of the chair, two vice-chairs, and a member of a party that is not represented, which in this case would be the Bloc Québécois. In the committee that I just came from, the public accounts committee, the steering committee consists of the chair and members from all four parties.
My own view, and I don't want to get into a discussion now, is that this requires a change in the routine motions. I don't think now is the time to do it, but you may want to think about it. I don't consider it my job to carry the brief for the Liberal Party at these meetings, so it probably would work better if there were a change in the routine motions such that the steering committee consisted of me as chair and a member of each political party represented in the House of Commons.
But again that's something we can deal with later on.
