I barely dare speak, given the passion with which Mr. Guimond has spoken. The only thing I could add—my colleague Marie-Andrée reminded me of this—is that at one time the committees were not able to sit while the House sat. Change was made in the 1980s giving more power to committees. Perhaps the time has come to restore some balance. Obviously, the fact that we have a minority government, a reality that Mr. Guimond spoke of quite eloquently, merits some reflection.
