Mr. Chair, I agree with Bernard. It has been the practice in the past committee that people haven't shown up. I won't repeat the argument of what Bernard has said. He said it from experience and we know that is what happens.
What I want to say is on a point of clarity. If you're going to say three members and one from the opposition, I think you just say one member of the government and one member of the opposition in order to make it clear. When we say three members and one from the opposition, it is presumed the government member is already there--it's presumed. Just make it as a point of clarity to say one member of the opposition and one from the government. That's my understanding. This one reads in a manner that says at least one member from the opposition, which presumes the other will be from the government. Let's have clarity--one and one.
