If the committee wants to continue this debate, I'm not going to suggest which direction the committee should go in. The committee is the master of its own domain and its direction. I'm just trying to keep things civil and moving forward.
Do we want to continue to debate the proportional representation on the steering committee? In fact, if I can speak for the steering committee—and you're quite right, I don't have a vote—the steering committee has met, and it's very congenial. Everybody talks. We seem to get along, and we seem to get our business done.
What I would like to do right now is get the committee's permission to invite the minister for Tuesday. Are we ready for the question? Apparently not.
Madam Picard, and then Mr. Preston.
