I was on the immigration committee prior to being on the HUMA committee, and we started out along these lines. Our group and I suggested that the PS also be placed on the subcommittee's agenda. It seemed to work well and was helpful, in the sense that when it came back to the main body we didn't rehash a lot of the stuff, because we had indicated what the minister would like, what our group would like, and so on. It seemed to work well. Many committees don't have parliamentary secretaries--some do--but in immigration it worked. I would ask this group to consider it, and if you feel otherwise that's fine too.
The other thing I want to raise is that I'm not sure how it has worked in the past, but having each member of the opposition and no government member puts the chair in an awkward spot because he is the chair. I would say it should be a PS or one member of the present party. So I move an amendment that the parliamentary secretary be one of the parties added, or another government member. That's the only change I would make.
