On that point of order, Mr. Chair, it was established with all whips at the last Parliament that we would be able to bring one of our members to the committee. He will be able to raise questions, but he will not have the opportunity to vote. That has been respected since the opening of this Parliament. I hope that Mr. Reid doesn't want to create new rules here. It has been established and accepted at every committee, and I think you've been advised of it.
