I wanted to establish the fact that I'm opposed, not because of the Bloc motion, but because of the McGrath committee, which in 1985 had recommended that we don't have parliamentary secretaries on steering committees. I know that had been the position of a previous party in opposition. I just wanted that on the record, and now you can go ahead and we'll pass your motion.
I wanted it to be noted, because it is something we actually have a problem with. The idea was that committees be independent, and having parliamentary secretaries on steering committees changes that. I don't know how the other parties feel, but in the recommendations of the McGrath committee back in 1985, it's one of the points that was underlined. I fully support that recommendation, so I don't support having parliamentary secretaries on steering committees. I support the Bloc, though.
