To be frank, I'd prefer not to have a formal subcommittee. I don't see that we need one. I think generally speaking, among members of the committee, including you, Mr. Chair, we can informally discuss items as we need to. I don't see that this committee actually requires a subcommittee. Typically speaking, we didn't have one on the heritage committee, for example, and we never really needed it. We just discussed things right at the committee of the whole.
