Mr. Chair, it's our submission that given that there are two somewhat related but in many ways different areas of subject matter for this committee, one being the broader foreign affairs field and the other being the international cooperation field, there may be studies and other matters the committee will deal with that would flow from either of those two departments in the government. For that reason, we think it would be beneficial for the committee to have one or the other of the two parliamentary secretaries there, depending on what's being proposed for the committee to study.
Also, we believe it fairly reflects the results of the most recent election.
