I think we're discussing.... We've been like this before. I think we should word it that the chair, the two vice-chairs, a Conservative member--it could be the PS or not the PS--and a member from the New Democratic Party do compose a subcommittee.
I must say that when the PS is there--he's not obliged to be there--it accelerates the discussion of the subcommittee, to be honest about this. The fact is if we want to have any minister appear in front of the committee, he's got the agenda of the minister and he can say yes, the minister is there, or he's not there, instead of going back to the main committee and saying no, the minister cannot come. That could delay a lot of the work we want to do.
This would be my subamendment: that the chair, the two vice-chairs, a Conservative member, and an NDP member do compose a subcommittee. That means it will be five members--two Conservative and three from the opposition. At the end, it's the same thing, because all the decisions that are taken by the subcommittee need to be ruled on by the main committee at the end. It always comes back to the main committee.
This way I don't see a problem adding this change, and the PS could come. It's just a Conservative member.
