Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think what Mr. Reid is saying is that when witnesses appear, he would like the chair to not be able to really take part in the questioning, etc. I think it would just give an opportunity for the government side to be able to question witnesses, etc. I don't think it would derange or do anything to the committee that would prevent the committee from functioning. As Mr. Reid says, I think it would probably enhance the procedures and the insight of the committee. Like Mr. Reid, I'm going to support the motion either way, but I think it would be an act of good faith for all members of the committee to agree with his amendment.
