Mr. Chair, it's quite curious that, when a motion is introduced by one of the parties and we're in the middle of the debate, someone rises in this manner and we hold a caucus session. Mr. Chair, something's not right here. A motion is normally put to debate, and it's debated on its merits. If there were any dealings to conduct, Mr. Chair, they should have been conducted in advance. The problem now—and I raised this yesterday—is not the quality of the steering committee's work, but rather the fact that we haven't respected its composition.
I consider it wise that we have one representative per party. That forces the representatives of each of the parties to achieve a consensus on the way in which the proceedings are conducted, which has always served the committee well to date. So I don't see why we should change the arrangement today. We're going to vote for the status quo. I invite my colleagues to reject the motion introduced.
