I don't doubt the vote was democratic. As I say, I think the subject matter is good. I just think this will improve it. Maybe the appropriate thing is to vote on the amendment. As I've indicated, I'm not wedded to this. I think it would improve the quality of the committee, and I think it would improve the quality of any subcommittee to be structured this way. So I hope people will vote for it, but if they choose to vote against it, I'll then vote in favour of the original motion.
