I'm not wedded to either format, and whatever you prefer, Mr. Chair, is fine with me.
The reason I raised the question is that when I first came here, the subcommittee on agenda and procedure, known as the steering committee, actually did control the agenda for the most part, whereas we did it differently for one specific reason: so that we would not have what I called the tier-one members controlling the agenda and the tier-two members not having much input into the agenda. We did it by a system whereby everybody could submit their ideas of subjects they'd like to study, etc. Then we ranked them to be sure that the agenda we were following was indeed a consensual one. So there wasn't an A-team and B-team. It was really to make sure that new members in particular felt totally a part of the process. That's why I questioned this motion.
However, I trust the chair, who has experienced that more open democratic method of engaging all members, if we do pass this, not to use it all the time, but to still give every member of the committee access to the agenda.
