Mr. Martin, I understand your point and I appreciate it, but we are speaking specifically about reduced quorum, not about quorum in general. Quorum in general can still be established without one government member, but reduced quorum would be in the event where only a couple of people show up for a meeting. It just precludes the option of people racing to a committee room--and I'm not suggesting this would happen, but let's just make sure that it won't--and that the opposition just passes a motion to move on with some piece of business at the will of the committee without having time for a government member.
I appreciate you would never do that, so maybe we'll just work on an honour system. I just thought if we're going to put all our cards on the table, that's my concern and that's what I'm trying to avoid.
