The two parliamentary secretaries have some roles that are integral to what will happen in committee. Also, when we look at the makeup of parties and the numbers in the House of Commons, this reflects the makeup of the House of Commons. That would be our reasoning for wanting to position the subcommittee similar to what the numbers are in the House of Commons. The parliamentary secretary to the Minister of National Revenue is integral to the work that is going to be done here. She should be on the subcommittee.
