I'm opposed to the amendment moved by Mr. Reid. I've served in the past on a steering committee and we always operated by consensus. Committee members drew up the agenda of the main committee, working by consensus. If a problem arose, they attempted to resolve it. The composition of this subcommittee which is the focus of my motion is the same as that in previous legislatures, and the subcommittee always worked very well. If there were any problems, they arose primarily within the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Consequently, I'm opposed to the proposed amendment to my motion.
