Given that the committee is meant to be small and to have a consensus, there is no worrying about votes and what have you. The standing committee is a committee of Parliament, not an arm of the government; therefore I think having the parliamentary secretary on such a small committee that is trying to just set an agenda isn't going to be necessary.
Obviously the agenda is brought to this body in any case and is then discussed. Then of course with respect to whichever agenda we adopt and work that we do, obviously the parliamentary secretary is present at all times, so I really don't see the need for this at all. I think we're wasting a great deal of time trying to do this, given the work we have at hand. I suggest we move on.
