Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would say to Mr. Martin respectfully that I sensed, when this amendment to the motion was put forward, that there was no intention of playing parliamentary silly buggers at all. I think it was just reflecting the fact that this committee is chaired by an opposition member.
I support it, based on the idea that it's only fair that a government member be in attendance at all committee meetings. I don't think there's anything untoward being put forward by it; I think it's just a matter of fairness, given the nature of the structure of the committee.
