I agree with what has been said here, that if it came to only three members being available and you couldn't hear the evidence, it would be most unfortunate. It's true that people travel a long way. That I certainly support. I think you must leave it at three--and of course, as many as you can have. The fact is that all you are doing is receiving evidence; you're not having a vote of the committee or anything like that.
